About This Event

Join Drawn Heritage for a relaxed and creative watercolour workshop set within the beautiful gardens of Marble Hill. Drawn Heritage was created by Mihai Lupu and Bianca Mierlea, a creative couple with backgrounds in architecture and fine art and a shared passion for historic houses, gardens and heritage places. The Marble Hill programme is a series of three creative workshops: Nature’s Canvas, exploring the gardens and natural surroundings; The House in Detail, discovering the façade and exterior architecture; and Hidden Interiors, observing the rooms, furnishings and decorative objects inside the house. During each two hour workshop, participants will receive an envelope containing a map and photographic clues. They will explore Marble Hill through a gentle treasure hunt, find the details shown in the photographs and choose one discovery as inspiration for their artwork. Mihai and Bianca will then guide participants in creating their own hand painted postcard. No previous artistic experience is required, and all materials will be provided. The workshops are suitable for adults and children aged 7 and over. Once completed, each postcard will be marked with our personalised handmade stamp, carved using the lino printing technique, before being taken home as a unique memory of the day. Participants who complete all three workshops will receive a special Artist of Marble Hill certificate, along with the opportunity to have their postcard exhibited on the English Heritage website, celebrating their creative journey and the deeper connection they have developed with the house and gardens. Workshop prices; £30 per person, £25 for English Heritage Members and £50 for family of 2 (a couple or parent and child).
