CRUISING INTO COLOUR with Tammy
Welcome to Cruising Into Colour!
Join Tammy Porter, also known as Arty Tambarambaa, on an inspiring, creative voyage through the vibrant South Pacific Islands. From the serene shores of Nouméa to the hidden wonders of Mystery Island, this cruise offers not only breathtaking scenery but also the chance to dive into the world of mixed media, color, and creativity. Tammy’s love for color and her unique approach to art journaling and scrapbooking bring energy and joy to every project. Whether you’re a seasoned creator or new to mixed media, Tammy’s welcoming spirit will make you feel at home while you explore new techniques, play with colors, and capture memories in meaningful, beautiful ways.
On this cruise, you’ll have the flexibility to work in either a scrapbook layout or a journal, as Tammy provides options and guidance for both. She understands that each creator’s journey is unique, so she thoughtfully designs every project to be adaptable to your preferred medium. With her wealth of experience, Tammy demonstrates each technique in both formats, allowing you to choose the approach that resonates most with you. Each creation will be a reflection of your experiences on this adventure, infused with the energy of the South Pacific and Tammy’s vibrant passion for color.
Prepare for hands-on workshops that celebrate wild creativity and self-expression! Tammy’s relaxed, joyful teaching style makes each session feel like a celebration. You’ll not only learn how to “throw color around” with confidence but also discover ways to connect deeply with your art. Cruising Into Colour is about more than creating – it’s a journey of self-expression, connecting with fellow artists, and capturing the essence of our shared adventure.

Instructor - Tammy Porter
My name is Tammy Porter or Arty Tambarambaa and I live in the gorgeous Clare Valley in South Australia. I did get married recently, so used to be known as Tammy Klingner.
I began my arty journey with scrapbooking when my children were babies - I even had a bricks and mortar scrapbooking shop! I’ve always loved documenting, storytelling and the connection, sharing and kindness that happens when women create together. About 8 years ago I moved into mixed media and art journaling and just love the freedom. The one consistency across my creations is colour - the brighter the better. I have discovered that playing with paint and colour soothes my soul. It’s definitely therapeutic. For me, my art is not just about creating, it’s about exploring, discovering, breathing, processing, connecting and being true to myself.
My children have now grown and I am still adjusting to the fact that I am now a mama to adults! How on earth did that happen? I also have a couple of fluffy kitties to look after…..or do they look after me? I’m blessed to work in a job that allows me to be creative, and connect with and support others. I work at the Clare Community Library and I also support teens through mentoring and art.
I have designed for many companies over the years, and right now I am on the Art by Marlene Inspiration team, well I’ve been there for quite a few years now so it really is more like family!
I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise. It’s a bucket list dream for me – yes this is my first!
So being able to do this AND share what I love with other creative souls excites me so much. I cannot wait to spend time with you all, showing you how to throw colour around with WILD abandon!!
Closer to the sailing date I will give you photograph requirements which you can either bring from home or cut up white card stock to relevant sizes so you can use on layouts and replace with a real photo when you have a suitable one.
These more details class requirements (if any) will be given out closer to the cruise.
