Course Structure
Explore, draw and be inspired by the shapes, forms, tones, texture, colours, light and rhythms of the magical and dramatic Pyrenean landscape.
Translate what you find into ceramic pieces or paintings capturing your feelings and responses to this magical landscape. Learn or develop ceramic techniques to create individual pieces in clay. All work is once fired and so ready to take away with you when you leave.
In all my courses I try to make maximum use of the stunning surroundings. The mountains, valleys and medieval villages are a rich resource for some wonderful creative sessions.
All my courses include either 5+ or 9+ full days tuition. Each includes all day
individual help, support and guidance, all materials, full use of the large studio and workshop space at
any time, and all meals except one evening (chef’s night off!).
