What people are saying.

  • "In the life of an emerging artist, having a collection of workshops with likeminded people (who become friends and contacts) is essential. Karen, thanks for creating and curating this space. I have no doubt that this place and experience will have a significant impact on my confidence and craft."

The idyllic location, wonderful accommodation and food, expert tuition from such a well reknowned tutor and of course the welcoming atmosphere made for a perfect few days."
