Slow retreat mornings at Sandridge Barton .... with gentle movement, space for creativity, nourishing food and drinks and wonderful company.

We absolutely love these extended mornings with you!

Finally getting around to sharing this month's retreat photos... It was great to welcome Anna back to model for us 💛

Next retreat day 13th September... One spot left!

A beautiful, sunny bank holiday retreat at Sandridge Barton ☀️🍷🌿

We're really looking forward to our next retreat day this Sunday. Whilst it has already sold out, you still have a chance to join us later in the year!

Join us for a soul- nourishing creative retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect and indulge your senses.

Whether you're coming for the creativity, the connection or simply a moment to treat yourself. This retreat is your invitation to unwind and be inspired. Limited spaces available.

We hope you can join us.

Stretch & sketch gives you the space to explore, create and start exactly where you are.

You relax a little, stop overthinking and realise nobody's here to be perfect. After all.... everyone was a beginner once!

After a little pause (and one spinal operation later ) Stretch & Sketch is finally back at The Mansion Totnes, and we would LOVE to see you on Friday 19th June, 7–9pm, for the second of our two-hour life drawing workshops. ✨

We’ll begin with a series of shorter poses to get pen to paper, before settling into one longer held pose for the remainder of the evening. We’ve been busy working away behind the scenes and are so excited to bring this one to life.

We’re beyond excited to be invited back for not just two, but FOUR retreat days at our beautiful local vineyard, Sandridge Barton this year.

Expect our signature blend of art & yoga, with the added joy of wine tasting.

These days let us slow down together - offering extended sessions, deeper connection, and the perfect mix of creativity, movement, and fun.

With the vineyard shifting beautifully through the seasons, each retreat will be thoughtfully crafted to match its unique energy. 🌿🍇

Our first workshop of the year and our very first two-hour life drawing session 🎨

We were joined by a fantastic model, our sofa from home and we recreated Benefits Supervisor Sleeping (1995) by Lucian Freud.

We’re so excited to keep evolving our workshops and have lots of exciting ideas in the works for 2026!

Thank you to everyone who joined us, it’s always such a joy to share these evenings with you 💛

We’re mixing things up!

Join us for a special two hour life drawing workshop where we’ll start with quick sketches and then move into a longer, inspired pose. Expect props, atmospheric lighting, and plenty of time as we recreate an iconic painting.

Ian will be there to guide you with techniques or give you space to create at your own pace.

Feel free to BYOB 🍷or sip on our selection of herbal teas while you draw. We have a fantastic model confirmed for January and we're REALLY looking forward to this!
