Re Drawing and/or Painting: after initial warm up drawing on the Friday evening a final pose will be in place for the remainder of the weekend. During the Saturday a second model will also be available for additional study. Participants will be welcome to draw or paint. Materials (with the exception of canvases) will be provided.

If you are booking a sculpture weekend your will draw on the Friday evening and sculpt in clay for the remainder of the weekend. Your finished piece will be left to airdry as greenware (unfired).

As always, tuition will be tailored to the level of each individual. Beginners through to advanced welcome. Rebecca has 25 years experience of life study.

Tea/coffee/light refreshments provided. Johnshaven has three great venues serving food: The Anchor Hotel Restaurant, The Lobster Shop and Hidden Treasure Tearoom. The village is very popular with holiday makers and there are many places offering accommodation.
