BLAND BADGER
Bland Badger is Charlotte Bland and Ros Badger. As a designer and a photographer, we believe everyone has a creative spark inside them and that inspiration is the key to creativity.
We became friends many years ago via our mutual creative interests and had wanted to work on a project together for some time when we landed on the idea of creative retreats. We both thrive artistically in the company of others and decided to bring this state of mind to our guests by forming an environment to step away and reconnect at a creative house party in the Italian countryside.
CREATIVE RETREATS
We offer a unique selection of non-compulsory workshops, run by experts in their field, from flower pressing and cooking classes to landscape painting, collage, silver clay making, photography and calligraphy.
We provide all the practical elements for these activities and the location brings the magic. The workshops are run to suit all abilities and result in guests leaving with an item they have made; be it a painting, a print or a collage.
There is no need for any prior experience and there is no time limit to them either. One of the special things about our retreats is that they allow for guests to take the skills they learn in a workshop, outside of the class.
