Our Eco-Art holidays in France include making your own paper (from
recycled paper and plant fibres) plus creating your own pigments from
natural sources, making binders and glues and finally creating collages
using your natural materials.
By the
end of your holiday you will have plenty of ideas for creating art in an
environmentally friendly way, getting a little closer to nature for
inspiration and its free gifts. No need for expensive paints and paper to
make great paintings and images.
It does not matter if you are a beginner or an accomplished artist. We
provide a great place to work in and wonderful accommodation for
you to relax and feel at home in. We provide delicious food (we cater for
many diets) much of it made from home-grown produce. We provide a little
"French experience" by visiting a market and maybe a local fete.
