Summer Workshops 2012"The
time you dedicate to your own art work is precious, time snatched from
the many demands of work and family. Our workshops are structured
to ensure you make the most of this time. Small classes, dedicated
tutors and purpose-built studios and facilities combine to allow you
to explore and expand your work. We invite you to join a diverse
creative community of painters and photographers this summer.
Take time to work in the landscape, to focus in your own studio space,
to get individual instruction and feedback, to reflect on your purpose
in life, to share ideas over coffee and lunch in the café and
to see your own achievement and that of others in the open studio exhibition
at the end of the week.
