Using the scent of herbs, the movement and sound of water, the feel and texture of materials, this opportunity offers the time and space to nurture working at a small and large scale.

This is a generous, restorative place for all artistic abilities to come together through a process-led, non-critical approach.

There will be time to draw outside, weather permitting.
