Workshops

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.

Join us at Farleys for our popular Autumn Sketching Workshop, with painting being added for 2026!

A workshop suitable for beginners and practised artists. Spark your creativity by sketching and painting in the inspiring autumnal sculpture garden at Farleys House and Gallery assisted by experienced tutor Gilly Lovegrove.

Christmas at Farleys is a time when the house is normally closed to visitors, but attendees of this workshop will get to enjoy the warm, festive atmosphere that Farleys creates so well. We will cook a seasonal celebratory feast in Lee Miller’s kitchen, using her recipes, perhaps inspiring you with some ideas for your own Christmas dinner along the way. Recipes will include Carrots in Whiskey, Popacatapetl Hot Sauce & Sesame Chicken for Miro. All to be enjoyed during a festive lunch, with your fellow workshop attendees, at Lee Miller’s kitchen table.

Choose a four hour workshop on either Wednesday 9th or Thursday 10th December.
