​
We cater for every skill level, from absolute beginner to semi professional. In fact, we welcome those who are quick to say, "I can't paint/write", because we believe that with the correct guidance, everyone can access their hidden creativity.
​
Our proposed framework for the workshops includes 3 hours of tuition per day.
​
The main class for the week-long courses will run from 9am until 12pm, Monday to Friday. In the afternoons, the teachers will be available for discussions, private tutorials, painting outdoors, or any help you may need regarding your work. On some evenings we may also have guest lecturers.
Alternatively, you could just extend your lunch at the seaside taverna, drink yet another ouzo, and watch the sun sinking into the sea (whilst contemplating your art projects, of course!).
​
For the weekend courses, the classes will run Saturday and Sunday, both mornings and afternoons. Please plan to arrive Friday afternoon / evening and depart Monday.
​
We will provide all the necessary material for the courses; we will be working with oil on canvas and/or charcoal on paper.
Workshops will be limited to a maximum of 6 participants.
Throughout the course you will have unlimited access to the studio, which is located in the centre of the village amidst the cafes and tavernas, (i.e., coffee and food at your paint-covered fingertips!).
​
We also offer artist / writer residencies and student concessions for the courses. Please contact us for more information.
