Week of Creative Exploration
Non-Residential Tuesday 14th July - Thursday 16th July 2026
Available spaces
Join us for a week of creative exploration at the restful and lovely Cober Hill just outside Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Every morning and afternoon you will enjoy a fresh new class from our fantastic line-up of tutors. This is your chance to try exciting new techniques or develop skills you may have picked up previously. Think of them as tasters or refreshers. The week offers a rich variety of disciplines, so you can dip your toes into something completely new or deepen your confidence in a favourite medium. You’ll enjoy workshops in: - Linocut Stamp Making with Darya Savonina - Watercolour with Andrew Storrie - Mixed Media with Molly Newham - Oil Painting with Garth Bayley - Pastel Drawing with Jeremy Ford - Transpositional Drawing with Christopher Shaw In addition, you can choose to join our optional evening sessions starting at 7.30pm including: Tuesday - Walk & Sketch with Colin Wednesday - Art History with Linda Thursday - Art Quiz with Dave On Friday morning, from 10am, you’ll have the opportunity to come together with the group to share and celebrate the work you’ve created during the week. Then it's home time, hopefully bursting with ideas and fond memories of friends made. This gentle, supportive format is ideal for both beginners and more experienced makers who enjoy variety and experimentation. You’ll have plenty of time to create, relax, socialise and enjoy the lovely grounds and surroundings of Cober Hill in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. All materials and equipment are provided for every session – so you only need to bring your enthusiasm and essentials for a wonderful week away. Workshops will take place 9.30am - 12pm and 2pm-4.30pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Lunch is served 12.30pm-1.30pm daily.
