Martine's workshops have been held for the past twenty-two years in the Loire Valley, in the Maine and Loire province of France. Classes are held in a large skylit studio, which sits in the middle of an ancient village of about 100 inhabitants.

During the summer months foreign artists who have purchased houses, and students, double the size of the town. Les Cerqueux Sous Passavant dates back to the 9th century. With lush, rolling hills of sunflowers and wheat, dotted by chateaux and small farms, the landscape has been made famous by many great painters.

During the down time of class, after shopping for antiques and wine tasting, many students choose to go to the coast and either swim in the ocean or try their liuck in the casinos, 1 1/2 hours from the village. French language and cooking classes are offered several times a week. For students who have travel partners who would like to study painting and drawing techniques, numerous classes and workshops are offered in our village by the variety of artists from all over the globe, who have chosen to make our little hamlet their home.
