Flatford Mill: Sketching and Painting at Benton End

This is a new initiative and an exciting opportunity to visit and sketch this historic 16th century house and its beautiful gardens, which will once more become a place for artistic and horticulture as it was in the time of Cedric Morris and Lett Haines.

We will spend the day sketching and painting in the grounds. Carole will walk you round the garden, pointing out suitable painting places and views of the house, then give a short demonstration in pen & wash to inspire you with ideas! 

You can choose to work in sketchbooks, creating a series of pen & wash studies, or take more time over a painting in watercolour. 

After the demonstration, Carole will teach on an individual basis for the rest of the day. Suitable for all abilities.

Travel to & from Benton End will be by minibus from Flatford Mill. In the event of rain, we will be able to work indoors.

This 2024 course is not available to book through the Flatford Mill website yet, but you can contact them directly to enquire or reserve a place:
