Untutored, Artists take over Casa Rosa for the second week of our Spring 2020 season. An artistic retreat, you will be liberated to be as creative and innovative as you feel inclined with no interventions other than those sought from your companions. There will be options offered, but not distractions, and all the creature comforts will continue to appear as regularly as ever.
This week is suitable for anyone who wants space and time to do their own thing. If you are joining us for week one with Kate Measham as your tutor this is an opportunity to stay and apply all that was learnt, or simply to be creative under your own steam.
This is a stand alone art retreat week – open to anyone. You do not have to take part in week one to join us for week two.
“Andalucia is one of the most beautiful corners of Europe, where the excesses of modern life do not seem to have taken root and travellers are welcomed as honoured guests. Beloved by Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway, it is the Spain of Carmen, Figaro and Flamenco. Rich with the legacies of the Moors and Romans its charm and serenity will captivate you.” Sunday Times
Casa Rosa in the Spring: Wild flower heaven
In late April join us for art and culture in the Axarquía, the mountainous area to the north east of Malaga. The hills and orchards of Andalucía will be ripe with citrus fruit and wild flowers. Nestling into the landscape, Casa Rosa will have oranges, garden flowers and fruit growing in the orchards and around the houses.
This is week two of our Spring in Andalucia programme.
This week is untutored . If you are interested in joining a week with Kate Measham as your tutor have a look at Casa Rosa, Spring 2020
What to expect on an untutored art retreat

Snacks, meals and drinks will be regular and delicious. At some point there will be optional distractions such as walks or models provided. In addition, there will be the facilities of Casa Rosa Estate – tennis court, pool, ping pong table – freely available and the nearby village only a walk away.

Food, fresh from the orchards and markets
Meals will be a communal affair with Rosie, her helpers and the other artists and guests eating together. Casa Rosa sits in the middle of its own orchards and Spring will see the orchards bursting with new growth. The house and cottages are full of delightful surprises, pictures, pottery and antiques collected locally and from years of travel.
There is a tennis court, swimming pool, delightful gardens and table tennis to divert you and relax you. Rosie can advise you about walks in the area. You can use the studio at anytime.
