"My Farncombe Experience ...."

Gill attended "A Drawing and Sketching - a Course for Beginners" at Farncombe Estate with Doug Eyre February 2010

Drawing and Sketching courses at Farncombe with Doug EyreWhat motivates people to join a residential course? I guess 'improvement of the mind or skills' would probably take top ranking. But my objective was quite different. Recently widowed and cautious about embarking on anything as a 'single', I considered a weekend in the Cotswolds with people who were not necessarily couples, would be therapeutic - and how right I was.

And so, on a freezing Friday in February, with the snow thick on the ground, I travelled to Farncombe by train and was immediately impressed that a car was at the station, as promised, to collect me. From that moment until I was returned to Moreton I could not fault the attention to detail, the quality of the accommodation and dining, ferrying round the site, companionship - oh yes - and of course - the course! Beginners sketching with Doug Eyre who gave me every encouragement, was a great experience and I brought home skills I didn't know I had!

My time at Farncombe helped me to move on and I am now looking at the summer programme - I will definitely be back.
