TIMETABLE HERE
Our aim is to offer you an experience that you could not have elsewhere. Part of that experience is the location of studios and work-spaces in rainforest, mountains and on the waterfront. Where else could you spend the day with the inventor and manufacturer of artists' paints at his home, enjoying his hospitality and finding out just what those paints and mediums can do for you, the experienced painter? The opportunity to attend a life drawing class in a rainforest creek and then develop your own painting myth from that scene is one which will be snapped up by those few who are the first to apply. Would you like to develop a portrait in paint or life-sized portrait in clay during one intensive day's directed activity? Throw dye at a silk scarf and take away treasured mementos of this unorthodox painting method? Perhaps catching the acting bug is a risk that you're willing to take as you engage with a world-renowned actor in her amazing theatre in the rainforest? Or is making a dreamy watercolour of rainforest landscapes or a soft oil painting of turquoise seas more to your liking? Have you tried making your own artist's journal or sculptural book from special papers and binding methods or investigated the addictive qualities of developing your own original prints using vinyl or perspex ? Even beginners can make glass jewellery or a glass paperweight in this art glass workshop hide-away, supervised by world famous glass artists. If words are your means of expression, interact with nature in this haiku writing group in a private, walled garden courtyard. For a great form of aerobic work-out tune into Egyptian or Brazilian dance rhythms and learn more about yourself in the process. Then there's the creative sculpture workshop where all of your imaginative ideas can take physical form under the guidance of your skilled tutor. Please check out the
