For me, it was an exceptionally good decision to dive into the world of art retreats. This time the emphasis was sketching , water colour, collage and expression . Colleen as a leader and teacher is broadly experienced, albeit her gentleness , multi lingual skills , and skill in handling group dynamics, made the experience a stepping stone to greater things for me . . Thank you Colleen

Beyond brilliant art retreat in Bali with Colleen! I learned so much from her in drawing and sketching skills, I feel confident to make it a regular practice. Daily art workshops, cultural excursions, evening shows, art museums visits, amazing food and like minded people made this retreat an absolute gem, an unforgettable experience to be repeated again and again!! I’m already planning my next one with Colleen! Highly recommend to anyone looking to disconnect from daily life and reconnect to self in the most wonderful environment! 🤩🤩

Ho frequentato il corso di disegno base, acquerello paesaggistico e urbanistico. Posso dire che la professionalità e la passione di Colleen non ha eguali, rende l'ambiente davvero accogliente, trasmette le sue conoscenze in maniera precisa e chiara mettendo a disposizione tantissimi input artistici per lavorare bene tenendo conto delle esigenze di tutti. Grazie ai suoi corsi l'arte diventa davvero una scoperta, anche per chi aveva già delle conoscenze di base. Si creano momenti di divertimento, creatività e condivisione.Dedalo è una garanzia. Super consigliato a TUTTI!!!!

I have just spent an incredible time participating in a printing course working with cyanotype and pronto plate - Colleen was full of knowledge which she shared effortlessly with myself and the other attendees - i would suggest anyone wanting to do a course with Colleen will walk away with more knowledge and a portfolio worth a weeks work and more - I can recommend this course highly for both beginners and Masters as Colleen accommodates every level of artistic endeavour - great experience thank you

For the second time (first in 2019) I went for one week of printmaking with Colleen and again it met all my expectations. Colleen is such an enthusiastic and patient teacher. Hospitality was great. We were a small group and enjoyed not only printing and paper making with Colleen but also good food and a lovely outing to Chieti and Pescara. Accommodation was perfect too. Would really recommend it to everyone who wants to be creative while spending time in Italy.

Ho frequentato il corso di disegno base e quello sul corpo umano; in entrambi i casi mi sono trovata benissimo sia per le spiegazioni, sia per le proposte, sia per il clima piacevole e rilassato nel gruppo. Colleen è un'insegnante piacevole, super creativa, che rende l'atmosfera non competitiva, divertente e stimolante. Consiglio!

Consiglio la scuola Dedalo di Pescara a chiunque voglia ritagliarsi uno spazio benessere dove dar sfogo alla propria creatività. È stata un' esperienza piacevole, efficace ed interattiva, grazie al clima creatosi tra corsisti ed alla modalità di insegnamento di Colleen. Tornerò anche per il corso di pittura ad olio 2 livello!
