Art Courses in the Spanish Sunshine

At Girasol Art Studio in southern Spain, you will find tailor-made art courses focused on your creative development with practical demonstrations to build upon your previous art experience or guide you in a new leisure activity.

There are three types of courses offered throughout the year; the Fine Art Exploration is a five day course of diverse workshops covering the disciplines of stone carving and ceramics. The second option offers you two, three or five days of specialised tuition and experience which allows you to focus on your preferred media. Both of these courses can be adapted to meet personal and professional development and training. The third type of courses are weekly, 3 hour sessions; you can choose between stone carving or pottery and create artwork at your own pace with guidance and demonstrations from Caron.

For experienced artists I also arrange private tuition around the weekly courses. These specially arranged, 3 day courses combine the first day of one to one guidance with two mornings of group tuition plus further private tuition in the afternoons, I'm sure you will be inspired by myself and the diverse artwork and enthusiasm found at Girasol Art studio. A 3 day mix of private and group tuition costs 375€ including tuition, materials, tools and a scrumptious, veggie lunch.

Fine Art Exploration

During the five days of hands-on workshops you will indulge your creative mind, learn new skills and have an opportunity to explore stone carving, ceramics and raku firing *during May-Oct because of local fire restrictions. The courses are very sociable and allow you to meet like-minded people from all around the world within a friendly and relaxed atmosphere; there are a maximum of six people on each course so you are guaranteed plenty of individual tuition and guidance.

This course also include enough flexibility to give you time to refine your art skills, create a body of artwork to take home and if you want to take time out to explore the surrounding areas, this could consist of gallery visits, hill walking, cycling, sightseeing, yoga, health and beauty pampering or simply relaxing by the pool.

Specialised Day Courses

Specialised courses are offered throughout the year in stone carving, ceramics, raku and smoke firings. Hands on experience and personal development will be the focus of these workshops with lots of practical demonstrations and support from Caron.

Weekly Classes

Throughout the year you can join the weekly classes in stone carving and pottery. During each three hour class, small groups of art enthusiasts receive tuition in the well-equipped studio and outdoor working areas which are set amongst terraces of almonds, olives and overlooking the national park forest. These classes are suitable for professional or novice potters, artists and sculptors.

If you are travelling from other parts of the world, we can offer alternative courses to maximise your visit and give you time to enjoy the arts, culture and fantastic scenery of inland Spain.
