Drawing in Gdansk                              
18th - 23rd June  2024      £ 435                 Medieval Solidarity 

​Gdansk in northern Poland, is a beautiful drawing location with a fascinating recent history. It is, effectively, a perfectly restored medieval town and is a famous centre for amber jewellery. You should seriously consider this destination if you have any interest in recent European history. 

The German attack at Westerplatte, 7km north of Gdansk, marked the start of the World War II and the city was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1939. During post-1945 era, the city was rebuilt from war damage, and vast shipyards were
constructed. Gdansk was the home of the trade union Solidarity. Strikes in the 1980s paved the way for the abolition of communism, which eventually led to the demolishing of the Berlin Wall and the re-unification of Germany in 1989. 

We stay in the heart of the old town by the river. The central accommodation is in rooms for 2 - 4 people with en-suite bathrooms and breakfast is included. We visit Westerplatte, a forty minute boat ride down river to the coast, and draw in the old town and at the shipyard. We have a group tutorial every evening.

Price includes return flights from Stansted, accommodation with breakfast and all tutorial support.  Single room supplement is £90.    BOOK HERE

Gdansk is a ​remarkable destination. Absolutely unique in its relevance to the recent history of Europe.
​We visit many of the historic locations of cultural relevance and contrast the beautiful architecture of the city with the brutal majesty of the shipyards.
