Finding Your Creative Voice – An Exploratory, Playful, Mixed Media Art Retreat

Step away from the noise of everyday life with Sheron King and immerse yourself in a gentle, inspiring creative retreat designed to help you reconnect with your artistic voice.

Over a day and a half, you will explore expressive mark-making and creativity, with rich textures and intuitive colour, through playful mixed media techniques. This is not about perfection or rules—it’s about curiosity, freedom, and discovering what feels true to you, helping you to access your creative flow, unlock personal intuition and develop confidence in finding your own artistic voice.

Through guided exercises, creative prompts and reflective moments, using the beautiful surrounding environment of Holbrook Manor as a source of inspiration, you will build confidence, loosen up your practice, and develop a deeper connection to your own visual language. Expect a nurturing, welcoming environment, thoughtful discussion, and time to pause, reflect, and simply be.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist feeling stuck, this retreat offers space to experiment, explore, and rediscover the joy of making.

Set in the peaceful Somerset countryside near Wincanton, Holbrook Manor is a graceful Georgian house combining heritage, comfort, and tranquillity. Its elegant architecture and landscaped gardens create a calm, inspiring setting, while cosy bedrooms and freshly prepared home-cooked meals ensure a relaxing stay. Guests can also enjoy complimentary use of the indoor pool, spa bath, sauna, and steam room.

With its serene atmosphere and warm hospitality, Holbrook Manor is the perfect place to learn, connect, and unwind.
