We offer both residential and day attendance options tutored by the very best internationally-renowned artists.

Painting tuition is offered to all levels of ability from the complete beginner to the experienced artist and with over 30 courses available in 2012 we really believe there is something for everyone!
Art Studio
Situated overlooking the picturesque Lea Brook, our purpose-built art studio is a welcoming space offering all the creature comforts, including; fridge, drinks tray and hot/cold water. The studio provides the ideal indoor venue for our art courses (unless out on location) and can be hired separately by art clubs or groups wishing to arrange their own special breaks.
