The Art of Ink art workshop

Explore Hardy’s Wessex through pen and ink, with artist Jessamy Keily.

Event Description

Dorset-based artist Jessamy Keily specialises in pen and ink. Experimenting with a traditional medium, she uses her inks to capture the unique forms and patterns of nature that inspire her. Jessamy has been teaching the art of ink for a number of years and holds regular workshops.

In this relaxed 1.5 hour workshop for beginners, you will learn all about dip pens and Indian ink, how they work and their history. There will be a chance to explore a variety of mark-making techniques and experiments before creating a final sketch or piece of handwriting that can be taken home and framed.

As part of your booking you can enjoy complimentary exhibition entry after the workshop to explore Hardy’s Wessex.

All tools and materials are provided on the day. No previous experience is required.

Please note places are limited to ensure lots of space, and to allow for plenty of support and guidance to each person.

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!
