Event Description

A full day creative workshop led by Helen Garrett, working with the idea of expressing the human condition through landscape imagery.

The day will begin with a viewing of the Hardy’s Wessex exhibition, with a focus on landscape, drama and expression in art. This will be followed by experimentation with materials in the work room, looking at how to create atmosphere and mood, natural mark making and effects with the ink / bleach technique.

After lunch the focus will be on drawing together ideas from the morning session into a larger ink painting on watercolour paper, adding detail and narrative and working with an image inspired by Hardy’s work.

Helen will draw on the work of Romantic painters throughout the day as well as descriptions of Hardy’s female characters and their struggles from his novels and poems.

Helen is a practising artist and masterclass teacher based in Bridport, West Dorset.

All materials will be provided. Lunch is not included.

Sawfish are also called carpenter sharks...but they are rays, not sharks!

There’s also a species called a sawshark, but that’s, well, a shark!

What the heck is a lek?

Males great bustards perform spectacular courtship displays, gathering at a ‘lek’ or small display ground to try to impress the females.

Road Runner!

The great bustard has a dignified slow walk but tends to run when disturbed, rather than fly.

Belly Buster!

The hen-bird on display at The Salisbury Museum was one of the last great bustards to be eaten in the town!
