DRAWN FROM THE GARDEN 2026
May 1st - October 2nd
10am -4pm
Spend the day drawing in the Yeo Valley Organic Garden.
Join me for an expressive day of hands-on art in this beautiful organic garden. I use natural materials from the local area to create my own vibrant drawings of the garden. I will help you to explore your own unique drawing style using charcoal, watercolour and mud…
There are a range of different workshops to suit everybody. My aim is for the workshops to be accessible for all levels of ability, enabling you to have an enjoyable day getting away from it all.
Please note that the workshops are based in and around the beautiful Yurt down in the meadow at the bottom of the garden. This is situated approximately 200metres from the tearoom, nestled between the ‘Gravel Garden’ and the Crab Apple avenue.
