Workshops

Throughout the year we have an extensive programme of workshops and events focused on developing new skills.

Drawing Ancient Trees Workshop with Tansy Lee Moir

18 Apr

Drawing Ancient Trees Workshop with artist Tansy Lee Moir

“As an artist I am inspired by the forms and stories of old trees, by the way humans, animals and natural processes have shaped them. My art encourages us to look at trees in new ways and to think about our ancient, layered relationships with them as living organisms.” – Tansy Lee Moir

This April we are delighted to welcome back internationally-acclaimed artist Tansy Lee Moir for a very special art workshop drawing the beautiful veteran and ancient trees in Haddon Medieval Park. Find out how to read the many stories written in their forms and enjoy learning to capture their unique shapes in charcoal, graphite and conté crayon. 

During this full-day workshop your morning will be spent walking, talking and drawing in the peaceful parkland. After a break for lunch you will develop your sketches under Tansy’s patient guidance in our Tudor Stables Studio, producing a series of drawings to take home.

This event is suitable for everyone over the age of 18. No experience is necessary and all materials and equipment will be provided. This event includes a short walk on uneven ground, so a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required. 

Please note that admission to Haddon Hall is not included within the price of this event.  

Sorry, tickets are non-refundable.
