There will be plenty of time to relax and find yourself.
- I hadn't drawn since my teenage years. So I was afraid of not living up to my own expectations and putting too much pressure on myself. But that turned out to be completely different during the week, which was a great relief for me. The educational concept of moving from simple things to more complicated things, from sketches and lines to cool and larger pieces, experimenting with colours, working with a wide variety of materials and objects, all of this helped me to relax and become more observant. I developed a different kind of mindfulness, learned to observe and am less preoccupied with what I think is right or wrong. It was a truly wonderful experience. I enjoyed the instruction as well as the interaction with the other participants. The warmth, the beautiful light, the good food, the aperitivo in the village and the beautiful surroundings exceeded my expectations! It was the perfect combination for a holiday!
Irene Hoffman, participant in the creative holiday!
I also really liked the atmosphere in your courses. I felt very accepted and encouraged, which is also very important to me, thank you very much for that. You have an inspiring and soothing way of motivating and guiding both creative beginners and advanced learners, you just have to stick with it. It's like coming home. All the best and we'll definitely see each other again.
