Sketch Out at the Mill House
£8 • Friends £6
For the first of our autumn Sketch Out sessions we’re off to a secret yet sumptuous location on the outskirts of Uley. Our hosts have kindly given us access to their remarkable mill house garden which includes exquisite planting interspersed with sculptures for architectural interest.
Artist Rosie-Marie MJ leads this morning’s session which allows you to work at your own pace with helpful support and warm encouragement. Sketch Out is all about making your mark in the great outdoors, surrounded by visual inspiration and a posse of eager sketchers and strollers.
Wear good, sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. The site has quite a few steps (caution if it’s wet or if it’s recently rained) but we won’t be walking terribly far.
