This is an extraordinary opportunity to grow and develop as an artist.
A full immersion in Bullclough’s unique environment will inspire your imagination and help you refine your artistic skills and creative processes.

Over five intensive days of art-making, you’ll expand your drawing practice through sketchbooks and explore a range of approaches to landscape and still life painting—from representational to expressive abstraction. You’ll be encouraged to develop an individual response that reflects your own artistic vision.

You’ll have the freedom to choose your preferred media, supported by expert tuition and one-to-one tutorials from experienced course tutors. Each stimulating session runs from 10:00am to 4:15pm, with the option to continue working in the studios into the evening.

Optional sketching trips to nearby beauty spots and artist talks will further enrich your experience.

By the end of the week, you’ll have broadened your artistic repertoire and gained the confidence to move forward into an inspired and creative future.
