“I have had so many people come up to me and say that they would like to paint abstract but they don’t know where to begin. That’s what this course is all about.”   Bonny Roberts

Imagine giving yourself the gift of a creative weekend at a beautiful home on Okanagan lakefront, a time away to create, learn, share, and relax. Good company with like minded artists, comfort food, a lakefront private beach, a warm therapeutic Jacuzzi…a time to create, reflect and rejuvenate.

Robinson Place Workshops are hosted at Robinson Place Bed & Beach. Owned and operated by Renee, great granddaughter of the founder of Naramata, this beautiful lake front home sits on the land that once was part of the Naramata Heritage Inn built by Mr. Robinson. This beautiful Spanish style home is filled with original art and antiques, many from the original Inn. This is your home for the weekend to enjoy, your home for relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation.

This workshop is limited to 15 students. The Full Immersion which includes accommodations is limited to 6 people in separate beds sharing rooms or more accommodation space is available if participants are sharing a bed.
