Art Programme

19 JUNE 2025

Location: Samos, Greece

Unleash your artistic side this summer! Improve and fine tune your painting and photography skills during our Art Programme on the stunning island of Samos.

What is the Art Programme?

The inspirational colours and scenes of our Samos resort provide the perfect setting to get those creative juices flowing! This week is designed to be a relaxed, easy way to try out a new skill or enjoy an existing hobby in good company and with a friendly and knowledgeable leader.

What you can expect

Painting
Develop your painting skills while taking in the vibrant colours and stunning landscapes of Samos.

Sketching
Capture landscapes and life drawings with just a set of pencils and a sketch pad.

Photography
Whether you own a camera-phone or digital camera, we will teach you the basics of how to compose and edit beautiful photos.

Just to note… You will need to bring equipment and supplies for the sessions you want to be involved with. Depending on your interests, this may include a camera phone; a compact/bridge/SLR/mirrorless camera; an A4 or A5 size sketch book; a set of pencils (HB to 4B) plus rubber, ruler and sharpener; an A4 (or any size) multimedia pad or watercolour pad; watercolour paints and brushes (and/or acrylics); ink pen(s).

Your Art Programme Leader

Your Art Programme will be led by the engaging and talented Jerry Foster-Turner. Jerry is a natural encourager and whether you are new to photography and art or have been doing it for years, he’ll help you to enjoy your holiday and progress your skills.

You are welcome to join in with some or all Jerry’s sessions. You may also choose, of course, to simply enjoy expressing your personal creativity whilst on the beautiful island of Samos. The exact content will be bespoke to the needs of the group and sessions may include portraits, landscapes, still life, action and wildlife.

Jerry Foster-Turner

I create pieces through a variety of media. I love interpreting what I see, using pencils and colours. I also enjoy composing and capturing interesting photographs, seeking out angles and views that maybe are not the most obvious. This week will be all about sharing the joy of being creative in a beautiful place.

Art Trips on location led by Jerry were excellent, Posodonio was lovely.

The art course was great and the trips out were the envy of others.

I really enjoyed the company and Jerry's creative week, he was very inclusive and helpful and encouraging. Learned a lot about taking pictures on my phone and editing them.

Beth, June 2024, Samos

As a solo traveller I was relieved and delighted to be among staff and fellow guests who made me feel welcome and included. And the beauty everywhere was wonderful to experience.

Patricia, June 2024, Samos

The art week was very good and enjoyable. The excursions were lovely. It was nice to go away on my own knowing that there would be Christians and a Christian ethos, which gave me confidence.

Good tips on mobile photos. Lovely locations.

Jerry's input and support were very helpful and doing the activities with others has inspired my flagging creativity.
