Art and craft short breaks in Scotland

We’ve put together a few short breaks consisting of a 2-day art workshop and 3 overnight stays in high quality accommodation with breakfast. Check out descriptions for details. The short breaks can be arranged for your preferred dates, subject to availability. Accommodation prices vary depending on the time of year and if your preferred dates are mid-week or weekend dates. Minimum number of guests is 2 and prices are based on two guests sharing a twin or double room. These itineraries can also be the starting point for a tailor made experience especially curated for you.

One thing to keep in mind: the earlier you book the better the chances of your perfect dates being available!

My aunt and I had a great experience with Wild at Art, from the accommodations, to our 2-day painting course, to the fresh food and meals out. The Scottish landscape, particularly the area our shortbreak introduced to us – Culcreuch Castle, Fintry – was definitely worth painting!
We so appreciated the personalization Wild At Art provided based on the hopes my aunt and I had for our experience, for example not knowing what painting medium we wanted to use, so providing all the options. Our instructor Katherine accommodated both my aunt’s interest in a beginner’s painting crash course, and my pursuit of open experimentation. We both left happy.
Thanks for a wonderful time, we’re eager to return! {Laura, New York City, Private painting experience with Katherine Cowtan, October 2019}

Very well organized, no stress, a great learning experience…and you get to see the best of Scotland! {Don, California, Tailor made watercolour painting experience, June 2019}
