Art Retreat at Zero Neuf
Lieu Dit Ferrieres, 09700, Gaudiès, France
Zero Neuf is a place to stay, play, eat, drink and create; we’re embracing a return to the simple things in life. Relax in six acres of space, cool off in our saltwater swimming pool or grab a drink and snack in The Cow Shed. Pick organic fruit and vegetables and enjoy uninterrupted views of the Pyrénées. Listen out for nightingales and golden orioles and watch raptors circling high above the garden. Snooze in a hammock, watch kingfishers on the river, read a book on a lounger. Switch. Off.
Mixed media travel journaling and painting retreat with Anji Timlin.
Come and join us in this peaceful, magical and little known region of southern France! Six nights full board, with small group and individual art tuition for all levels and abilities. I will guide and support you throughout and you’ll come home refreshed and relaxed with a host of new friends and some new art skills and confidence! All materials are provided and you'll be given a bag of art goodies to keep.
6 nights Sun 22 June - Sat 28 June 2025

Classes
Wallace Seymour Acrylic Workshop at South Square
Saturday 31st May 2025 11.45-2.30
If you’ve ever had a conversation with me about painting, chances are I will have talked your ear off about Wallace Seymour acrylic paint. It’s absolutely beautiful to use, and as I always say, pretty much paints itself. Made in Yorkshire with best quality materials and some really interesting and unique pigments, this is also a local company.
If you’ve thought about trying it but you’re not sure where to start, this is a brilliant opportunity to come along and find some favourite colours!
Join us at South Square for a live painting demonstration and watch me paint for a bit, I promise I’ll try my very best to talk about my process and the paint while I paint, I’ll try to answer all your questions and who knows how it will all turn out!?
After the demo, we’ll have a large selection of Wallace Seymour acrylic paint, canvas boards and paper for a workshop where you can try the paint for yourself.
There is no obligation to buy but Greg from Craft and Canvas will be there to offer paint with a 10% DISCOUNT too!!
Remember to bring a sketchbook or notebook, an apron, and your favourite brushes.
£25 per person, book your ticket on the Craft and Canvas website
