Here are members of Ali Hargreaves’ painting group on the steps of the great castle at Verrucola, near the Watermill, celebrating, at last, their escape from the bureaucratic grip of Covid, and enjoying the inspiring freedom of a Watermill creative course.
Thank you for coming, guys: it is great having you here and to be running our courses in full swing at last.
We have a couple more creative weeks left this season (Italian language and a painting week with Grahame Booth) and a full season for 2022, which is booking up fast. So, if you would like to celebrate your freedom and enhance your creativity, come and join us in beautiful rural Tuscany, Italy.
We would love to welcome you here.
