Drawing workshop

26,27,28 August 2023

The workshop will take place in the beautifully restored 16th century Abbey in Ayen-Bas situated in the Corrèze. The big house is very comfortable and has a heated saltwater pool. The owners Sara and Ilco will provide delicious meals prepared with local bio and typical French products.  

The lessons will take place in the house but there will be leisure time to take walks in the picturesque environment or to enjoy a glass of wine on one of the terraces in the garden. 

The creativity workshop includes two nights’ accommodation, three art lessons, breakfast, lunch and two dinners in the Abbey.
We will expect you on Saturday the day of arrival after lunch at 14:00 for homemade pie coffee and tea.
On Monday the last day we will conclude with a scrumptious brunch and one last art lesson. The program should end at about 16:00.

The total price per person sharing a bedroom for two is € 350,—
