Welcome to all those interested in combining the making of ART with TRAVEL… to have an enriching, personal experience.
We are a small specialised company offering Art tours that incorporate art making with visits to traditonal artisans – we are artists who conduct the tours so we understand the need to keep it small, personal and to add unique touches that you may not experience with larger companies or even smaller ones..we will not be waving flags at you to follow us! nor will you feel like a ‘tourist’..
Our local knowledge ensures that you will feel part of the fabric of  the location..our research is impeccable so that you come away feeling informed, not a superficial drop in tourist…you will have plenty of time to relax, make your art and enjoy the special itinerary..
In conjunction with Lakshmi Tours www.lakshmitours.com and my friend and tour operator, Kamlesh Vyas www.suryaarthouse.com  and Kim Woods we have an inspiring artmaking programme, including visits to traditional artisans. See the Drawn to India menu for our itineries.\
