Course details

The courses run from around 10.00 am to 12.30 then a break for lunch and from 2.00 to 5.00 in the afternoons.
The morning sessions will generally be a time for group discussion and experimenting with techniques and styles and finding out exactly what you want to achieve during your stay.
The afternoons are given to studio or field work, depending on your preferences.
The evening meals take place either on the terraces or in the dining room, at around 7.30 pm.
