Drawing workshop – Warley Place Nature Reserve
Saturday 3rd August, 1.30 – 4.30 p.m.

Within short walking distance of St Mary’s Church, Great Warley, this 25-acre reserve is the site of a house and once famous Edwardian gardens belonging to Ellen Willmott. It is now maintained as a nature reserve by Essex Wildlife Trust. Please note there are no public facilities at the reserve.

The drawing workshops are led by professional artist Jo Beal, who will provide top tips and techniques to help you reflect on and capture your experience of the locations and your personal connection to the landscape. No previous drawing experience is necessary.

On arrival there will be  a welcome and short intro by Fiona Agassiz. Facilities at the Thatchers Arms available for use.

These free workshops aim to inspire memories and stories about your connection to the Land of the Fanns landscape.
