It's thrilling when a flash of inspiration comes to you and you know that you have to make something ... and then ... the moment, the free afternoon or evening, never seems to materialise and the thrill soon turns into another line on a long to do list. If that sounds familiar then 'Made on Holiday' may offer a solution to those longing to spend a week making.
Made on Holiday is a small, family run travel business that has established its own creative retreats 'for people that would love to make something with their hands using their creativity whilst on holiday'. These creative holidays are arranged throughout the year in idyllic locations, with expert tutors.
Groups are kept small, so that everyone, whether they're learning photography, jewellery, needle felting or Boro textiles has the opportunity to learn a skill fully whilst also having the opportunity to get to know everyone in the group. Retreats are generally based in Tuscany, Italy, where Made on Holiday have found a handful of beautiful venues for guests to stay and learn in.
A brilliant way to relax, learn and socialise.
