Course programme



One-day Art Experience: learn to relax through your creativity.

You don't need to be artistic to attend one of our Art Experience Days. Our aim is to help you learn how to relax and de-stress through your creativity and have a wonderful and memorable experience.

We will help you to totally escape from the stress at home and the workplace so you can use your art experience as a calming and therapeutic day.

Our Art Experience Days are held in a historic Jacobean mansion in the picturesque village of Bibury set in the beautiful, serene and inspirational countryside of the Cotswolds. Join us and escape for a day of luxury and learning.

10.00am......Meeting in the drawing room you will be given a very warm welcome when you arrive, also coffee and croissants to help start the relaxation process.

10.30am......We will start by showing you some examples of our art styles and then we will go on to speak about how different aspects of art can help you relax and bring you relief from stress. This will hopefully enable you to gain a different perspective of everyday things. We will also give you advice on other ways to relax and de-stress at work and at home.

11.30am......We will go for a walk along the river Coln, through the glorious grounds of the hotel and beyond to give you inspiration for your afternoon painting.

12.30pm......On our return from the walk we will gather in the conservatory (or on the terrace, weather permitting) for a tasty two course lunch from the table d'hote menu.

1.30pm.........After lunch you will begin your own acrylic painting onto stretched canvas and don't worry, we will provide constant help, advice and encouragement along the way.

3.30pm........We will stop for a short while for afternoon tea.

5.00pm........Time to stop and reflect on the days achievements and we do hope your experience has a positive lasting effect on you so you can now relax through your creativity...

When the day is over you will be able to take home your own original 'work of art'.

You will also be presented with a folder of useful information and advice relating to your day.

All materials, refreshments and meals are included.
