A workshop suitable for beginners and practised artists. Improve your observational and creative skills by sketching and painting flowers and plants in the inspiring sculpture garden at Farleys House and Gallery assisted by experienced tutor Gilly Lovegrove.

Lee Miller’s 1950’s fitted kitchen at Farleys is, to some degree, a time capsule, an Aladdin’s cave of ingredients and gadgets, which were all used by Lee over her many years creating and cooking. During Farleys summer cookery workshops, Lee’s kitchen comes alive again with conversation, laughter and delicious aromas, as participants exchange ideas and recreate Lee’s recipes using some ingredients and herbs from her vegetable patch in the garden.

Join us at Farleys for a fun, inspiring poetry workshop with Derek Adams

‘We’re frightened that somebody might think that we are also animals, which we are’ … Leonora Carrington

Whether you are new to writing poetry, or a seasoned poet looking for something to enhance and energise your writing, all you need is a pen, notebook, your eyes and your imagination!

Whether a complete beginner or a keen improver, come to Farleys and learn how to take creative, effective Landscape photographs in the countryside surrounding Farleys.

In this workshop, you will engage with collage as a creative outlet, making your own compositions to take home, while guided by highly experienced artist, Mark Ellender.

Like many Surrealists, Roland Penrose utilised the power of incongruity in his art making process by mixing media & imagery in his collage compositions. Picture postcards were central to this practice throughout his career.

With Mark, you’ll explore ways to access the bizarre and unexpected using rubbing techniques, drawing materials, postcards and various papers.
