Art Holidays

We are thrilled to be offering no fewer than six different painting, sketching and drawing breaks this year, with carefully selected locations which offer both a relaxing break and the time and space to immerse yourself in your art.  Whether you are looking for detailed botanical studies or landscape painting, time spent with fiendly likeminded company or a new adventure in sketching on location, we have something for everyone.

Our courses also offer non-residential options, if you either live locally or prefer to find your own accommodation.  Non-painting partners are also welcome, please enquire for costs.  You can also drop into just part of the course in Ironbridge, for a reduced fee, if you cannot make the whole four days, please enquire.
