Art in The Barn

Art in the Barn is a twice yearly creative arts week held in the Spring and Autumn, enabling you to choose from a range of workshops, to develop and explore your artistic skills. Our workshops are held in an inspirational setting beneath the South Downs, at Meon Springs Long Barn in Hampshire

Art in the Barn is a collaboration between artists Alison Butler (Blooming Designs) and Liz Wellby, who met at Loughborough University whilst studying for degrees in Textiles and Sculpture in the late 1980’s.
​
​The Location - a beautiful rural setting in the upper Meon Valley in Hampshire (Meon Springs).

The Venue - an inspirational C18th thatched barn, that lends itself to art workshops. It is spacious, with beautiful exposed beams, excellent natural light and superb views over the South Downs. It is a real treat to retreat from day to day life.

​Our Facilitators - are qualified and experienced artists and teachers, who love what they do.

Our Workshops - are suitable for all abilities, be you a beginner or a more experienced artist, allowing you to work together whilst exploring your creativity and developing new skills.
​
Our Spring workshops include a few old favourites, plus some fresh ideas to choose from.
