About Wild Connection: Elisabeth Frink Drawing Retreat

Take precious, creative time for yourself and spend the day developing your drawing skills, inspired by the work of Elisabeth Frink.

Spend the morning exploring the Natural Connection exhibition, exploring Frink’s distinct approach to line, texture & form. Tutor Jo Blaker, will guide you as you produce a series figurative & abstract studies on paper, to form the basis for studio based drawing in our afternoon workshop.

Following a warming & nutritious lunch at The Weston we will work directly from nature, at a larger scale, with wet & dry drawing media, in our Hayloft studio.

This workshop will inspire everyone from seasoned artists to beginners, through the bold spirit of Frink's work.
