There are just two places remaining on our drawing workshops with Julia McKenzie, which complement her exhibition The Making of a Wildflower Year that is currently on display.

Artist Julia McKenzie created over 70 drawings and paintings to illustrate Frances Tophill’s wonderful book celebrating some of the author’s favourite wildflowers.

Join Julia for this full-day drawing workshop, where she will share her expertise and experience in observing and recording plants and flowers found in the natural world. Using a variety of drawing tools and techniques, you will improve your skills in line, colour, and texture, while exploring ways to blend delicate linework with expressive shapes and layered colours.

With more than 30 years of teaching alongside her own artistic practice, Julia has developed a fluid line and a keen observational style that captures the imperfect beauty of nature.

We are delighted to share that the talented artists from our Artists in Research and Textiles group will be exhibiting their work at the new visitor centre in Ham Hill Country Park.

Known as A.R.T, this vibrant collective of artists and makers explores fibre, fabric, and stitch as powerful mediums for artistic expression and discovery. They believe textiles go beyond traditional craft, serving as vessels of meaning, memory, and innovation. By gathering here at the gallery monthly, A.R.T fosters a lively space for creative dialogue, skill-sharing, and mutual inspiration. Rooted in community and inspired by the rich legacy of fibre arts, A.R.T invites you through this exhibition to connect with them and view this ancient landscape through their eyes.

"Stitch, Stone & Soil" presents new work exploring place, material, and process through contemporary textile practice. The exhibition features work inspired by Ham Hill, the largest hillfort in the UK, responding to its landscape, history, geology, nature, and wildlife.
