Retreats

 
 
 
 

Retreats are long slow opportunities to grow as a person and as an artist. Each day is divided into studio time and relaxing time. During studio time, we delve into the various topics covered in the retreat. During relaxation time, we take cooking classes, relax in the spa, visit the beach and local towns, learn Italian, and chill out. Class time is balanced with savouring all that Tuscany has to offer.

Retreats are held at Il Baciarino in Tuscany Italy.
