Gill Tomlinson Art

About Centre

The Art Studio, Charakopio is a combined artist’s studio, shop and teaching space in the heart of a Greek village in the south Peloponnese. The studio-shop showcases Gill’s artwork, prints and a range of handmade products. All Gill’s work is inspired by Greece and in particular the local environment.

Morning workshops take place in the shop which is a beautiful, creatively inspiring environment.

Art weeks combine outdoor on-location venues with indoor sessions in the studio.

Facilities

Students work on tables in the shop. Workshops are equipped with lots of paint, paper, drawing materials, sketchbooks, collage fodder, plus gelli plates for monoptinting.

The surrounding area is filled with inspiring places to visit for on-location sketching and painting.
