JULIETTE ARISTIDES 2025

This workshop will start at 10am each morning and finish at 5pm - with a 1 hour lunch break. We will draw the model for the first two days and then paint the same pose the last three days. This will be one, long pose of the figure. The location of this workshop will be: Craven Hall, Sackville Street, Skipton, BD23 2PB, England. This is a short drive from the Rosemary & Co Workshop.

We are also excited to add an additional lecture, which is included in your workshop fee:

  The Art of Looking: 

Suzanne Fagence Cooper will speak to us from her book: To See Clearly: Why Ruskin Matters. Which explores how Ruskin's art and writings can help us understand our world differently. She considers his approach to beauty, travel, love and loss, and suggests fresh ways to engage with our natural world and built environment. Reading the book is recommended as a point of reference but it will not be necessary for the lecture. If you have the book, bring it for Suzanne to sign.

Suzanne was a research fellow and curator at the V&A Museum.Cooper is an honorary visiting fellow of the University of York.

Included in this workshop is 5 days tuition, all your lunches, model fees, easels, paper towels, gloves and two evening meals. This price also includes 20% VAT. Non-painting partners are welcome to join us in the evenings at no extra fee, though if they’d like food etc then there may be a small charge.

Needless to say, you can purchase many things from our HQ including the brushes Juliette uses, lots of paints, gamsol/miracle medium/mediums, some panels, easels (new for 2025) and more…just let us know well in advance. If you would like to borrow an easel, we can arrange that for you. However, if you prefer to use your own pochade or travel easel, please bring it - and let us know.

We will send out a materials list 4-6 weeks before the workshop itself. We do this as things can change with the teachers required supplies and this way it saves any confusion or buying twice. Please be patient with this, as soon as it’s ready, we will send it over to you.

You will need to organise your own accommodation (we can help you!) and you will need to organise your own travel arrangements. If you are flying from outside of the UK, you should try and fly into either Manchester (if flying outside the EU) or into Leeds/Bradford Airport if within the EU. We can arrange for a taxi to pick you up (From Manchester, 1.5 hour is around £105 one way, from Leeds/Bradford, 45 minutes is around £55 one way). If you would like us to arrange these transfers, just ask. We have 8 rooms at our Rosemary & Co accommodations. This always sells first, and it is first-come, first served. Please do not arrange any travel or accommodation until you have signed up for the workshop itself.

Full payment is needed for the accommodation. For prices, and to book a space onsite, please let me know after you have signed up. I will then put you in contact with Janine. You must sign up for the workshop before we can confirm any on-site accommodation queries. We recommend if you are flying long haul, you come in a couple of days earlier and stay a day or so later so you can rest and not feel rushed.

You can see all of our Terms and Conditions and the Code of Conduct here. Please familiarise yourself with this before signing up.
