Enjoy a full day of creativity and take inspiration from the flora and fauna found in our venue’s garden as well as your imagery and imagination, plus take cues from the work of renowned Surrealist artist Arshile Gorky and explore working with colour, abstraction, memory and more…
Our Art in the Garden workshop will begin with an introductory presentation before we head downstairs to our outdoors location where you can respond to the plants, flowers and buildings you’ll encounter as well as your colour, texture and pattern.
We will also discuss the life and work of Arshille Gorky (1904-1948) and how green spaces provided him with a new source of inspiration alongside ideas shaped by memory, dreams and imagined spaces…
