In this part of the world, we’re galloping up on peak holiday season when the schools break up for the big summer holiday in a week or so. Coincidence or not, we’re also approaching the date when the Covid restrictions for public life are being eased in the UK – and to say that’s having a mixed reception is an understatement!
So in this episode, we talk about holidays that are just for us, whether that’s going somewhere to be inspired by the location and being guided on how to respond to it in our art, having a holiday with like-minded people and mixing art with leisure, taking a break to reflect on our art, or perhaps going somewhere for an intense few days of learning something new.
I also want to take some time for some “mini retreats” where I give myself the whole day to do exactly as I choose, and I wrote a blog post about what that might look like here.
Meanwhile, in this episode of the podcast we mention
