Remember and revive your reasons for making art and reboot your practice. View more Artist Retreat Weekends here. As part of a small group, benefit from directed exercises, peer feedback and 1-1 mentoring from two professional artists.

Get a fresh perspective on how and why you make art. As part of a small group, reflect on your practice and make new work in an inspiring environment. As well as directed exercises, peer feedback and independent time working in the studio benefit from 1-1 mentoring from two professional artists.

In a safe and creative space challenge yourself and progress your practice. Please bring any current sketchbooks and works in progress which you wish to refer to during the course or discuss in your individual tutorial.

This is an ideal course if you feel you need support to move your work on and would benefit from the time and space to ask questions and challenge yourself. The week will be a mix of creative group work, individual practice and one to ones. An important part of the experience is the input from your fellow students who will offer peer support and critique. To get the most out of this week you must value the feedback of the group as well as your tutor and be open to taking risks. If you feel isolated in your practice and would value a critical outside eye this could be what you need.

This also might be the right time to ask questions about what kind of artist you want to be and where your work needs to go next. You should leave this focused time with increased motivation, confidence and clarity.

Each retreat will be taught by two of our regular Artist Retreat tutors whose specialism is helping artists develop their personal practice. Please bring with you a portfolio of current work to discuss. This can be sketchbooks, video format or digital images.

We offer this in two formats: an intensive weekend or over a week.
