Sketch Trips

Sketch Trips has been offering a successful five-star bespoke creative holiday service since 2016, bringing together over six hundred students and countless tutors for a variety of residential art courses.

From our base at the Terrace Gallery, Cornwall 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 4-9 night residential environment. We pride ourselves on providing an unparalleled service which enables our students to enjoy a relaxing, rewarding, creative experience and allows our tutors to concentrate on delivering hassle-free high-quality courses

Our bespoke service is designed to allow tutors to expand their creative practice into residential courses, by taking away the administrative pressure of running a course. We facilitate everything, organising all the behind-the-scenes event bookings, accommodation, catering, and transport in a variety of locations throughout the UK and Europe. This year, due to rising costs and a reluctance to travel we will be focusing our only running courses in the UK – Kent and Northumberland coasts. In the future we hope to venture to Ireland, the Jurassic coast and back to Portugal.
