About
Our creative workshops are taught by artists of great skill and imagination. Class sizes are small, meaning plenty of focused tuition. During our open season, the day begins with a tour of the House for inspiration. Students break for a delicious artisan lunch and the opportunity to wander in the Garden or visit the Shop. The day finishes with a chance to share work and experiences. The cost of the day includes the House tour, artisan lunch and all materials. Workshops are aimed at adults and run from 10am to 4pm.
