2 – 6 October 2023 I Art Holiday I Greece

Join our creative holiday on the Greek island of Nisyros 2 – 6th October 2023

Our workshops bring together a unique experience inspired by nature and the positive energy of the the beautiful island of Nisyros. Together with the artists behind the book Nature Journal, you will learn skills, create and collect material to explore  art and craft techniques inspired by the land and the seasons. Nisyros is a small  volcanic island in the middle of the Dodecanese complex. The island is renowned for its natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. It is a truly authentic place, perfect to experiment with creativity.
The workshops have been set up for beginners and art professionals to inspire, motivate and reconnect with nature. During the workshops we will introduce you to various processes which make use of the natural elements on the island. We will explore beaches, forage for plants and gather materials for inspiration and use. In your spare time you can choose to visit museums and churches, the volcano, walk and explore,
go to the beach or relax in therapeutic waters in a rustic spa.
