Join printmaking and drawing specialist Sam Marshall as she returns to South West France for a week of experimentation with linocut and drypoint, creating beautiful artworks inspired by your surroundings. The emphasis is on exploration, play, and developing your own visual language. We begin with simple, accessible sketchbook exercises, helping you loosen up, observe more closely, and enjoy the process of drawing without pressure. As the week unfolds, these drawings become the foundation for your prints, moving through experimental drypoint into more considered linocut work. You’ll be introduced to a range of materials and approaches, with plenty of time to experiment, make mistakes, and discover what excites you. With individual guidance, you can work at your own pace.

For centuries, the magical light of the Low Countries has captivated Dutch painters—the endless skies, shifting clouds, quiet waterways, and ever-changing atmosphere. Join me this June–July for a unique painting retreat in Zwolle and the beautiful landscapes of Overijssel. We’ll paint historic streets, peaceful waterways, and dramatic Dutch skies, while also exploring other creative techniques: painting on ceramics, a monotype workshop, and drawing a live model at the local artists’ club. You’ll stay in a 4-star hotel in the heart of Zwolle, just steps from the charming historic city centre. My atelier, nearby, will be our creative home for gathering, working, sharing, and reflecting. I’ll personally guide you throughout this special week of painting, creativity, friendship, and summer light.
