Painting & Crafts Cours de Peinture et Faiences Note: There will not be any Painting & Crafts workshops offered in the Fall. Some say the Book of Life opens on the plateaus of this region of
Provence where the waters were known for its powers to cure blindness.
Here you can refresh your own vision of the visual arts under the guidance of local masters. Learn watercolor, acrylic and the art of creating the delicate painted pottery which captured the imagination of the Sun King.
We supply all the materials. No prior painting experience is required!

The Lavendar Capitol of France, Provence is known for it's fragrances.  Participate in a soap making atelier and in two sessions you will have made a dozen bars of scented, natural soap. Make seasonal jams or herbal sachets for tisanes or for your linen closet.
Painting taught by Andrew Petrov.

Also enjoy special excursions to the moulin where olive oil is made and the distillery where lavendar is pressed.
Andrew is a painter who received his MFA from George Washington University in Washington, DC, and in 1999 moved to Provence with his Californian partner, Marcia. "Learning to paint opens an intimate dialogue between you and your environment. Developing your personal voice is a visual language understood by all." His website is www.andrewpetrov.com.
