Does trying your hand at photography, painting, printmaking or textiles tickle your fancy? Then join the brand new programme for the Skyros Centre, Greece – the Art Studio – an ideal opportunity to explore your creativity under the guidance of some very fine artists. Please note: moustaches and berets are not compulsory, although welcome!
As many of you will know, Skyros Holidays have run art courses very often in the past but always as part of a much broader programme of activities. These courses, if judged by the passion and commitment demonstrated by all people involved, have been hugely successful. This year, however, the art courses will sail under their very own flag!
You will embark on an inspirational journey through picturesque Skyros village, its beaches, its ancient sites, the colourful countryside and also your own inner landscapes. And all this in the company of friendly people ready to share experiences, views and ideas aided by our highly qualified and professional artists who will offer support both within the group and individually.
Skyros co-founder Yannis Andricopolous says "Skyros island is very seductive from the artist's point of view: picturesque and easy going."The renowned Writer's Lab and Life Choices programmes are held alongside the Art Studio at the Skyros Centre. This means that the two week holidays offer the opportunity to book one course per week from any of the three programmes that run alongside each other. Life coaching first week, painting the next perhaps?
Find out what's on this summer 2013 below. Join any of these courses with no experience or plenty and know that you will return home with the skills and encouragement necessary to pursue your creative vision with renewed vigour . . .The Skyros Team
