Our riverside hotel offers the perfect setting for a retreat in the Dartmoor countryside, so we are delighted to be collaborating with local artist Emmeline Webb for a series of half-day, mindful art retreats in 2025.
Join Emmeline and new friends for a relaxing half-day introduction to acrylic painting, drawing from the stunning Dartmoor landscape. All materials are provided and you will be given an art pack to keep, to continue your creativity on at home.
Please note, the 25th April retreat is now fully booked.
Emmeline is an award wining illustrator and mixed media artist, with over 10+ years of teaching experience. She will guide you step by step to create your very own Dartmoor-inspired still life painting. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced painter, this class is all about relaxation and self-expression.
Throughout this workshop, you’ll mix your own colours, learn the techniques of applying acrylic paint, and work from a simple but carefully curated still life arrangement. By the end of the afternoon, you’ll walk away with a beautiful, unique painting of your own.
The session begins at 12 pm from the hotel, starting with an outdoor walk to relax and gain inspiration along the Teign River which runs alongside the hotel, wrapping up around 5:00 pm. Enjoy a short break for cream tea or lunch (pre-order required) and two hot drinks each (tea or coffee).
We are hoping that the Spring weather will be kind enough to allow us to run the retreat in our beautiful, undercover, outdoor lodge, using nature as our backdrop, so please do bring suitable cardigans and jumpers.
£60 p/p includes materials, cream tea or lunch and 2 hot drinks. Retreats are limited to 8, book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Full payment is necessary on booking to reserve your place. If you are gifting a half-day retreat, please make us aware and we will take the giftees contact details.
