These art weekends make an excellent art break in a lovely location with many nearby farmhouse and traditional B&B's to choose from for your stay.

Above: A typical Art Course with Nicola Slattery (second from right). The number of participants on her art courses is limited to a maximum of only ten which ensures lots of individual attention.
ARE YOU A COMPLETE BEGINNER? Many people going on their first art course can feel a bit wary or nervous. If this sounds like you please DO NOT worry! Nicola has taught many terrified beginners successfully building confidence and working with each person on her art courses as an individual. The atmoshere on Nicola's art courses is always relaxed and informal and any nervousness evapourates after a few minutes as people become imersed within their own art work.
Complete beginners make excellent students perhaps because they listen well and don't have too many preconceptions of how things should be done. If you have any worries about an art course being right for you please do get in touch and discuss your needs directly with Nicola.
