Art, imagination & the natural world
Weekend workshop
Friday 4 - Sunday 6 May 2012
During this residential weekend we will be drawing, painting and making work in the environment, using conventional art materials and what we find around us. We will work in groups sharing experiences and there will also be time to work individually. There will be use of creative visualization and group work techniques which will aim to help us connect more deeply with the natural world around us as well as to focus on our own personal journey.
The weekend is open to all, designed both for those who have experience of making art, and for those who are completely new to the process.
Fee: £240 includes all art materials, delicious organic food and shared accommodation at the Trust’s recently refurbished farmhouse.
Accommodation in a single room at the B&B will cost approximately an extra £35 per night.

Accommodation is in a large comfortable farmhouse in shared rooms with a shared bathroom. There is also a reasonably priced B&B in close walking distance, which has single rooms. Food will be organic and will use some of the meat produced on the farm (there is also a vegetarian option).
