Painting, Sculpture, Photography & Photoshop Courses

We have 16 acres of private woodland and pasture on the edge of Wimbleball Lake, which provides a rich variety of landscapes.  We are at the end of the secluded ‘Upton Arm’ of the lake.

This relatively narrow arm of the lake is bounded on both sides by woodland. It is a picturesque haven for artists and photographers … and wildlife.

  • Residential courses - self catering but lunch provided each day (small groups of no more than 10). 5-day courses £650 per person.
  • Self catering accommodation for non-participating partners, £275. 
  • When the studio is not in use for courses, it is available for hire by individual guests, or art/photography groups who wish to use Rainsbury House as a base. Contact us to discuss.
