Join us for an unforgettable holiday in the heart of Tuscany this September!!
15-21 September 2025.
This year, we are blending the art of painting and the passion for cooking together, all wrapped up in a perfect holiday under the Tuscan sun!
All tuition is led by talented artist Trine Pettigrew and the 2 cooking classes will be run by skilled culinary expert Anna Pettigrew.
Jump in and immerse yourself in the stunning Tuscan landscape, where hands-on sessions in both creative expression and culinary delight will both relax you and inspire you!
Wherever you are on your creative journey, Trine will be on hand to guide you and help with tips and tricks for your paintings. Beginners very welcome!!
Trine will guide you through inspiring painting workshops set against the backdrop of rolling hills and picturesque vineyards, while Anna will share her expertise in crafting delicious veggie/vegan Italian dishes using locally sourced ingredients.
We will all stay in a charming villa, set in a beautiful country garden.
