Program Description

The residency is based in a beautiful Maison de maître built around 1840 and still retaining its period characteristics. Situated in the market town of Nérac, in the stunning Lot-et-Garonne region, here you will find the ‘real’ unspoilt France. Your hosts have many skills between them. Colin Usher is a Photographer and Digital Media expert and Julia Douglas a Mixed Media Artist (specialising in Textiles) and Web Designer. The ‘Garage’ studio is perfect for creating all types of works of art. It has a large North facing double door so good natural light. The 'Living Room' studio is a large room and has a polished wooden floor, ideal for movement material. It has two windows onto the front of the house and one glass door out onto the garden. Studio Faire offers all creative practitioners a change of pace and the space to create.
