 Jocelyne Spencer
Centre Director
Jocelyne is a trained French Psycotherapist, with
15 years’ private practice in London. She has
7 years experience working in ‘stress management’ units, and
is the permanent teacher on your Le Centre holiday, teaching the first morning seminar during all holiday weeks. In the years that she has been practising she has recognised the need to not only look inwardly through psychology but also to open outwardly through eastern philosophy, which she will share with you.
The second seminar and informal evening talks will be led
by one of the following visiting teachers (see Booking to find out which teacher will be visiting during your week).
The teachers all have in common a breadth of knowledge and
a depth of understanding in the subjects they teach.

 Bernard Spencer
Art
Chelsea College of Art Graduate
Over 40 years' painting experience, 10 years' of teaching
In relaxed, daily morning sessions at the Le Centre studio,
and then later in their stay at locations by the Baise riverside that it overlooks,
Artist and Film maker Bernard Spencer will guide guests through all the aspects
of drawing from life. Depending upon each student's level of ability, he will teach
the fundamentals of pencil and charcoal to their degree of proficiency,
instructing the more advance with critiques on their work; sometimes
in other painterly media.
For complete beginners, he will endeavour to teach
composition and design, using objects and the human form
to explain some of the excitement and mystery of making art
that hopefully, at the end of their stay, they will carry away with
them as a positive together with their finished drawings.
Reasonable paper requirements, pencils, sharpeners, erasers and
drawing boards will be supplied.
