Weekend Courses
The painting weekends, under the guidance of experienced tutors are suitable for
both the novice and the more experienced artist. During the art therapy weekends,
participants, with the guidance of a trained art therapist, through personal imagery
learn the art of emotional and spiritual expression.
A setting of natural beauty where green hills dotted with wildflowers and ancient stone beehives curve to dramatic cliffs that meet the sea provides ample inspiration and support for the days of challenging work. From the dawns over the mountains to the spectacular sunsets in the western sky, both landscape and seascape are bathed in veils of supple and ever-changing colour and light.
In order to allow more time for the tutor to work with each student, the classes are small, limited to five to six students.
The most important ingredient for these weekends is the relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.
