WEEKLY CLASSES

Regular classes for people living locally. Professional artists share their skills with you so you can progress yours.

“I will certainly recommend that visitors take the residential option, because for the small increase in price it turns a learning experience into a life experience.”

— David, Course participant

“From the gloriously tranquil setting to the fabulous teaching and amazing talent of the tutor and not forgetting Elise’s wonderfully scrumptious food - and all seamlessly organised. I enjoyed the whole immersive experience from beginning to end”.

— Catherine, Course Participant

“It was altogether a joyful and creative week.” 

— Sue, Course Participant

“I had such a brilliant morning this morning. I learnt so much from Alys in just one session, I’m really excited about the rest of the term”

The teaching was relaxed, informative and supportive but also encouraged you to develop and have confidence in your own style. It’s a quiet haven, a place to fully immerse yourself in being creative and relax completely.
