Photography as a creative art mediumExplore the artist within.
This on-location workshop consists of lectures, practical demonstrations and feedback sessions along with personal mentorship. On this art retreat you will be taught how to transform your photography into art imagery fit for wall display. Digital techniques are also demonstrated, but only as a supplementary method. This exciting art workshop does not require in-depth knowledge of photography; instead, it is more important that as a student, you desire to explore photography as an alternative creative medium within the framework of art.
Please note that, unlike our regular workshops, you will be required to self-cater on this art retreat. All the chalets have a fully functional kitchen. Please also be advised that we supply basic art materials, but you are welcome to bring your own should you prefer. Details will be communicated closer to the time of departure.
