Two places are still available on this holiday !
Jason Skill (artist and art teacher) and Antonella Rea (language tutor) are running an educational holiday for those interested in drawing, sketching, the arts and speaking Italian.
This holiday will take place in Rome. The mornings will be spent either sketching with our resident artist Jason Skill or attending a language course at Scudit, a well renowned school specialising in teaching Italian to adults.
In the afternoons Antonella and Jason will take both groups to discover some of the lesser known sights of the city and admire masterpieces of Italian art, with further opportunities to draw and paint and speak Italian.
We will be flying from Newcastle airport on Friday 20/04/18 ,
returning on Friday 27/04/18
For all participants the Holiday includes;
Accommodation in a B&B in the central quarter of S. Giovanni (walking distance from the Basilica of St. John in Lateran)

Guided visits in the afternoons.

Rome Holiday research
Antonella Rea and myself have been to Rome to check out locations, accomodation and transport links, to make sure that the Holiday in April runs smoothly. It was great to be back in Rome again, a city I love, seeing some of the many wonders it has to offer. We also had the tiresome chore of sampling the local food and drink. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. Here are some snaps from the trip.
