Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or are an experienced artist looking to hone your skills, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to slow down, observe, and create in the inspiring surroundings of Croome.
A range of materials will be provided, including and A5 complimentary sketchbook for you to work in throughout the day and take home with you. Admission to Croome is included within the ticket price.
