Bringing Communities and Businesses Together
In June 1990, plantswoman and garden designer Beth Chatto and garden writer Christopher Lloyd took a picnic on the beach at Dungeness, Kent. They stumbled on a fine Santolina plant among the pebbles and were invited by the owner, artist Derek Jarman, to explore the rest of his garden. Beth Chatto left the beach that day inspired to make her dry, gravel garden; the rest (as we say) is history.
This is a repeat of the sold-out Spring 2024 course.
X is for “Художницa” (Khudozhnitsa), the Russian word for ‘woman artist’. Expert lecturer Dr Louise Hardiman invites you to explore women’s art in Russia and the Soviet Union, beginning in the mid to late nineteenth century with the first women to train in art schools. She will then look at the world-famous Russian avant-garde, and end in the 1960s with artists who worked with, or rebelled against, the Soviet system.
