December 30, 2004 -- Studio France, based one hour North of Toulouse offer holiday/workshops in Art and Painting, Pottery, Poetry and Shakespeare, Patchwork and quilting and more. These can be found on www.studiofrance.co.uk and are all taught by professional teachers with a passion for their own subject.

Elisabeth Poirets art course has been described as providing the same experience of having been to art school for at least 3 months [Claire Brown June 2004], whilst the Shakespeare course hosted by Julia Wilson-Dickson is an amazing opportunity to work with a teacher who not only knows a lot about Shakespeare but can also inspire people to celebrate the love of all literature.

The ceramics workshop is an opportunity to discover what it feels like to be a professional potter, whilst the patchwork course (as featured in this months Popular Patchwork magazine) is a fantastic reminder of what it must have been like to sew with a group of like minded people in the most amazing surroundings and being really well looked after.

Most nights a delicious dinner is served outside in the warmth of the evening sun at the home of Pippa and Julia, or there is an opportunity to have dinner with M. and Mme Chatelus, the most charming French couple who entertain you in their 14th Century chateau. One meal is at a local restaurant where you get to meet the chef as every part of this holiday is about meeting the people who are behind the scenes giving you a real sense of France.

Even when not working within your workshop, Studio France make every part of your holiday your own choice whether it is a visit to a local French market, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Albi or even an afternoon with a picnic and river swimming.
