We’re beyond excited to be invited back for not just two, but FOUR retreat days at our beautiful local vineyard, Sandridge Barton this year.

Expect our signature blend of art & yoga, with the added joy of wine tasting.

These days let us slow down together - offering extended sessions, deeper connection, and the perfect mix of creativity, movement, and fun.

With the vineyard shifting beautifully through the seasons, each retreat will be thoughtfully crafted to match its unique energy. 🌿🍇

Drop us a 💛 to find out more about our retreat days.

Our first workshop of the year and our very first two-hour life drawing session 🎨

We were joined by a fantastic model, our sofa from home and we recreated Benefits Supervisor Sleeping (1995) by Lucian Freud.

We’re so excited to keep evolving our workshops and have lots of exciting ideas in the works for 2026!

Thank you to everyone who joined us, it’s always such a joy to share these evenings with you 💛

We’re mixing things up!

Join us for a special two hour life drawing workshop where we’ll start with quick sketches and then move into a longer, inspired pose. Expect props, atmospheric lighting, and plenty of time as we recreate an iconic painting.

Ian will be there to guide you with techniques or give you space to create at your own pace.

Feel free to BYOB 🍷or sip on our selection of herbal teas while you draw. We have a fantastic model confirmed for January and we're REALLY looking forward to this!

✨ And that’s a wrap! ✨

We’ve wrapped up 11 beautiful Stretch & Sketch sessions in 2025, and every single one has been a joy. We closed out the year with a bang thanks to our wonderful life model, Billie, and we couldn’t have asked for a better finale.

It’s been incredible watching this little idea grow and evolve with each workshop. And guess what? We’ve got big plans and exciting changes coming in 2026. Stay tuned over the next few days - we can’t wait to share what’s next!

A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who made these sessions so special: our amazing life models, our three gorgeous venues, and each and every one of you who showed up, stretched, sketched, and supported.

See you in 2026! ✨🧘‍♀️🎨

When yoga meets life drawing ✨

Step into a space where movement meets stillness. These workshops are about connection between body and mind, art and movement and not forgetting the lovely people who come together to share the experience.

Our final retreat of the year at Sandridge Barton ✨
We started with a cuppa, moved our bodies, created space, sipped wine, and got creative with life drawing.

A slow and soulful morning, huge thanks to everyone who joined us - we loved spending the day with you. Can’t wait to see you at one of our monthly workshops soon 💛

1-minute sketches vs. 10-minute sketch ✍️

We always kick off our sessions with quick poses - short bursts to loosen up, settle in, and get the pen moving. It’s such a joy to watch these sketches grow into more refined pieces as the session unfolds.

Loving these two drawings from last Friday at The Glade. The energy of the 1 minute studies and the added depth & colour that emerges in the longer 10 minute pose.

Thanks to our wonderful model
