Workshops

Sculpt from life model

Small-group, sculpture workshops in a working foundry.

From our beautiful Leicestershire countryside location, and adjacent to our sculpture garden and foundry, take part in our clay sculpture workshops, with expert tuition and a delicious lunch in the gallery.

All abilities welcome!

Location

Set in a small village in the countryside of Leicestershire, our foundry and workshop rooms provide the perfect backdrop for creativity. You are also free to wander through the Sculpture Garden where many of Lloyd and Judith’s pieces can be found.

Tuition

Our expert tutors are all practising artists, with teaching experience and a wealth of knowledge in their field. They provide live demonstrations and you’ll receive individual critiques and guidance throughout.

Please visit our Tutors page for bios on our workshop tutors: Hywel Pratley; Andrian Melka; and Tristan MacDougall.

Materials

All materials and tools for the workshops are provided, including wooden armatures and water-based clay.

At the end of the session you’ll be able to take your sculpture home in clay or look to cast in plater or even bronze!

Lunch

Each day, we sit down for an informal lunch in our gallery overlooking the sculpture garden. Faye prepares fresh, simple sharing plates, using ingredients from the garden wherever possible, for our guests to enjoy.
