WELCOME!

‘PAINTING SKIATHOS’ is open to  ALL!

Offering both personal and group tuition, ‘PAINTING SKIATHOS’, located at Villa Nicara, Kolios, Skiathos, welcomes all artists: established, would-be ones, beginners and non-painting partners alike and art tutors too!

It was founded with the sole purpose of bringing together art enthusiasts from all over the globe, in a spirit of generosity to learn, exchange and share their interests and skills and to nurture and promote the creative arts.

By offering all-inclusive painting holidays, classes and workshops and art classes with a weekly/daily ‘drop-in’ facility, at this unique venue, its aim is to provide a platform for everyone wishing to discover or develop their ‘artist within’. It is also an opportunity to perpetuate traditional Greek art and craft techniques (such as icon-painting, lace-making, wool-dyeing and rug-weaving – to name but a few) that are all too quickly disappearing from our hectic modern world.

To be in a position of facilitating that freedom of expression for others, even in a small way, is my greatest reward and I consider it a privilege to have this opportunity to do so. For that reason ‘PAINTING SKIATHOS’ welcomes everyone:

Individual Artists
Whether you’re a professional, a keen enthusiast, a complete beginner or an aspiring artist (regardless of ability). All you need is a desire to be creative and have fun! If you would like any more information or have a particular course/workshop in mind that is not shown here, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line, with my network of tutors in many creative disciplines, I’ll be more than happy to accommodate your request.and arrange something to suit.

Art Groups/Societies
Special discounted rates apply for parties of 8 or more. If you are part of an art group/society and would like to arrange a ‘group’ painting holiday together, just let me know and I can arrange everything for you.

Teachers/ Children’s Courses
Teachers looking for art/activity holiday workshops, alone or with their pupils, are also welcome and special rates apply

Artists on Retreat
If you’re an artist seeking either the company of fellow painters or a solitary peaceful retreat, in order to paint or find new inspiration (and require no instruction), there is no charge for the use of studio, gardens and swimming pool. However, any tuition, use of art materials, refreshments, lunches, excursions and transport (including airport/port transfers) will be charged accordingly; costs determined and payable on site. Prior booking is essential.

All art materials will be provided though you are welcome to bring your own.

“I believe there is an artist in all of us, I liken Art to a train ride; one that we can embark on, or disembark from, at any time of our life. We may all be at different stages of the great adventure but there is undoubtedly plenty of room on board for us all.

“Whether our inner artist remains hidden in the ‘child within’ or it has already found a creative path to explore, self-expression through Art is a continually evolving and supremely fulfilling journey – but a very individual and personal one.

There is no ‘right or ‘wrong’, ‘good or bad’. There are rules (made to be broken!) and techniques to be learned, certainly, but they are only for you to make of them what you will; use them, abuse them, adopt or disregard them, at will, as you experiment and find what works for YOU!”
