Week of Creative Exploration - Early Bird
Four-Night Residential Check-in Monday 12th July 2027 Check-out Friday 16th July 2027
Available spaces
Escape to the restful and lovely Cober Hill, nestled in the peaceful countryside just outside Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast. This relaxing four-night, full board residential is designed to give you the perfect balance of gentle structure and freedom. Each day brings a fresh workshop led by one of our fantastic tutors, so you can try exciting new techniques or gently develop skills you already enjoy. Think of the sessions as inviting tasters or refreshing returns to familiar mediums. With a rich variety of disciplines across the week, you can dip your toes into something completely new or deepen your confidence in a favourite approach, all at your own pace. You’ll enjoy workshops in: CONCERTINA ARTIST BOOK with Molly Newham In the morning you’ll explore the beautiful grounds of Cober Hill, gathering inspiration from the landscape, gardens and architecture. In the afternoon you’ll transform those observations into your own concertina workbook, a beautiful and personal memento of your time here. URBAN SKETCHING with Peter Ruczynski One day you’ll take the bus into Scarborough and spend the day exploring the historic seaside town. Sketch the bustling harbour, dramatic cliffs and elegant Victorian architecture, with relaxed stops along the way and lunch by the sea. TETRA PAK & GELLI PLATE PRINTMAKING with Darya Savonina In this one-day workshop you’ll learn how to turn everyday rubbish into beautiful, unique prints using Tetra Pak and Gelli Plate techniques. Discover how discarded materials can become the starting point for striking and personal artwork. You can also choose to join our optional evening sessions, which generally include Art History talks, Walk & Sketch outings, an Art Quiz, Murder Mystery night and more. Or simply unwind with a drink in one of the comfortable lounges or on the patio, enjoy the grounds, and settle in for our nightly film. On Friday morning, after breakfast, you’ll come together with the group to share and celebrate the work you’ve created during the week before heading home, hopefully bursting with fresh ideas and fond memories of the friends you’ve made. What’s included: Full board, en-suite accommodation at Cober Hill All equipment and materials for the workshops Transport to and from Scarborough plus lunch by the seaside on your trip day. Check-in from 3pm Monday 12 July 2026 Check-out by 10.30am Friday 16 July 2026
