Painting & Ceramics creative breaks in France



2013
Your Summer of Creativity





Painting & Ceramics in France
Creative, Restful, Holidays

with celebrated sculptor & ceramicist
SARA GRACE WEVILL
and
HELEN ELLIOTT

Join us for a one or two week creative break holiday, timed to coincide with the blooming of the sunflowers.

22nd July 2013
29th July  2013

Indulge yourself in sun soaked, relaxed days; enjoy creating ceramics and paintings in the Pays-de-la-Loire region of France, an area famous for its sunflowers, gentle rolling hills and medieval market villages  ....
Sara, a fully qualified and experienced ceramicist, who lives and works in France, will work with you in her fully equipped large studio. Throw pots on a wheel, or sculpt your creation, which you will also be able to glaze and fire.
Helen will facilitate the painting and sketching element of your creative break. She has developed special techniques that will encourage your creativity to blossom, whether you're a complete beginner, or have more experience.  We will be painting 'plein air'  amongst the sunflowers, by the lake, and in the medieval market.
As well as working on both paintings and ceramics, spending time just relaxing in Sara's large, beautiful garden and enjoying al fresco meals under the stars, there will also be visits to local bistros, art galleries and ceramic museums available.
Non painting partners are very welcome.



Both Sara and Helen have many years of professional artistic practice and teaching experience and will tailor your creative holiday to suit your needs.
