Welcome to MetaxArt Cotswolds UK!

MetaxArt Workshops proudly expands its creative journey to the United Kingdom with a new two-part painting workshop series held twice a year in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Led by artist and art tutor Natasha Metaxa, founder of MetaxArt Painting Workshops in Greece, this inspiring program welcomes artists of all levels to explore the essential principles of composition, expression, and pictorial structure in a warm, light-filled setting at the beautifully renovated Beckford Village Hall.

Building on over 30 years of experience in art education, MetaxArt invites you to discover the joy of painting and the creative dialogue between observation, structure, and emotion — surrounded by the tranquil English countryside.

Workshop Philosophy

Each MetaxArt Workshop is designed to help you capture the essence of what you see and feel, and translate it into your own visual language.

Join me this summer in the beautiful Cotswolds for a one-day painting workshop designed to help you move beyond simply painting what you see and begin painting what you feel.

Through a series of creative exercises and painting experiments, we will explore the exciting journey from representation towards abstraction. You’ll discover how colour, mark-making, memory, emotion, and intuition can transform your work and help you develop a more personal artistic voice.

This workshop is perfect for artists who want to loosen up, experiment, and break free from the pressure of creating a “perfect” painting.

By the end of the day, you’ll have created a unique artwork and gained practical tools to continue exploring a more expressive and intuitive approach to painting..

Why Join

These workshops are more than a painting course — they are creative retreats designed to refresh your senses and reconnect you with your artistic flow.

Experience the joy of painting in an inspiring space surrounded by fellow artists, discover new perspectives, and celebrate the art of composition as a form of expression and renewal.

Join us and make this season your gift of painting.

With its charming stone cottages, peaceful lanes, and rolling countryside views, Beckford offers the perfect setting for artistic inspiration and quiet reflection. 

Surrounded by nature reserves, historic landmarks, and traditional English gardens, the village invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with beauty in its simplest forms.
