Art Workshop in the beautiful hills of Tuscany - Artescape with Louise Corke

Discover the delights of Tuscany on this stimulating 14 day program of learning, touring, cultural immersion and friendship.

Louise Corke, a renowned pastellist, will be the tutor and the workshop will strike a balance between observation, study and practical experimentation working both on location and in the studio space.

Artists are welcome to use mediums other than pastels and all levels of ability are encouraged to attend.

During these 2 weeks you will also explore the wonderful historic sites of Tuscany visiting the famous locations such as Florence, Siena, Lucca, Cinque Terre as well as discovering some smaller towns not usually on the tourist map.

Three excellent accommodation venues have been selected and you will also be introduced to the joys of classic Tuscan cooking and wine. At each location you will be guided and cared for by locals who will be sharing their part of Tuscany with the group. For further details please download the Artescape brochure.

If you have a partner or friend who is not a painter but may wish to attend, they will be able to join all activities and excursions and will have time to relax or explore during art lessons.
