Event: The Simple Things Sketching Day

Lottie Storey August 3, 2015

Learn to sketch natural finds - this special day out for readers combines the chance to nose around Yeo Valley’s kitchen garden and learn to draw the natural world with local artist Natasha Clutterbuck

Join celebrated local artist Natasha Clutterbuck for an inspiring day of hands-on art in Yeo Valley’s Organic Garden. Natasha uses natural materials to create her own vibrant drawings of the garden and she will help you explore your own drawing style... no experience necessary!

Berry and vegetable juices, stone dust and soil form Natasha’s colour palette. Natural ochres from Mendip mud and the gorgeous gourds in the garden provide the materials and the subject for drawing with a difference.

Natasha will give you a tour around the garden from an artist’s perspective and show the simple beauty of the humble garden vegetable. So, to look at the world in a new way, learn a new skill and of course enjoy a delicious, locally sourced lunch and an abundance of tea and cake, come and join us for a very special day out at Yeo Valley.


READER EVENT: The Simple Things Sketching Day

Arrive at Yeo Valley in Somerset at 10.30 for a coffee and a mingle, before a demonstration of Natasha’s skills. After a delicious lunch of locally sourced ingredients cooked by Yeo Valley chefs, it’s your turn to get drawing. We’ll provide the inspiration, Natasha’s expertise, and a sketchbook to take back with you. Then there’ll be afternoon tea and cake to fortify you for the journey home. Book now as spaces are limited.

Date: 7 October
Location: Yeo Organic Garden, Somerset
Price: £49 (travel not included)

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
