Art Holidays

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.
