Sketchtrips art courses UK and abroad

Sketch Trips has been offering a successful five-star bespoke art holiday service for over ten years.

In this time we have bought together over five hundred students and seven tutors for a variety of day workshops and residential art courses.

Now based at the Terrace Gallery, Penryn, we work with some of the most experienced practitioners and communicators in the art education sector, to help art lovers and hobbyists advance their talent in a relaxed, friendly, workshop or 4-9 night residential environment.

Specialists in organising sketching, painting and printmaking holidays, we provide administration for tutors wishing to expand their creative practice into workshops and residential courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced students.

We offer an unparalleled service coordinating the behind the scenes specialist accommodation, catering and transport needs for both the tutors and students, allowing their tutors to concentrate on delivering hassle-free high-quality courses.
