NEW WINTER WORKSHOPS!

Looking for a fresh approach to drawing and painting birds this winter? Join wildlife artist Mark Boyd for one of his inspiring winter workshops.

Mark has a wonderfully refreshing way of teaching - helping you see lines you never knew existed, really look at colour and markings, and most importantly, understand the birds you’re drawing.

Expect plenty of observation, fresh ideas and a chance to develop your own approach to wildlife art. Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply love birds and want to have a go, you’ll come away seeing your subject in a whole new way.

✨ Come and join Mark this winter – limited spaces available.

Happy National Wildlife Day!

Wildlife has always been at the heart of Art Safari - from the elephants, lions and giraffes in Zambia, the brown bears and butterflies of Slovenia, the unique endemic animals found in the Galapagos, polar bears in the Arctic, South African wild dogs, and our visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, this year there is such an incredible array of wildlife to see on an Art Safari 🐻🦁🐘🦭🐆🦒

Destination Guide: South India 2027

South India is a feast for the senses - ancient temples glowing in the morning light, jasmine-scented villages, spice plantations deep in the Western Ghats and tranquil backwaters fringed with coconut palms.

Our journey through Tamil Nadu and Kerala takes you beyond the usual tourist trail, with time to sketch colourful village life, magnificent temples, bustling markets and the ever-changing tropical landscape. There are fragrant spices to discover, delicious South Indian food to taste, local crafts and communities to meet, and a two-day journey by private houseboat through Kerala’s peaceful waterways.

Are you ready for a liberating and adventurous week of drawing, mark-making and creative exploration with artist Alice Angus?

Alice will be in residence at The Art Haven in Woodbridge throughout the whole week, with a programme of fearless, inspiring and uplifting workshops and events in and around the Art Haven, the harbour and the River Deben.

This is your chance to embrace the unexpected, rekindle your excitement for artistic discovery and draw fearlessly! Across the week, Alice will explore subjects including movement and gesture, sound and dynamics, landscape and perspective.

The drawings created by participants will gradually come together to form a collaborative panoramic installation, which will be exhibited at The Art Haven at the end of the week.

Join us for a half-day, full-day, or be bold and come along to the whole programme! Places are limited, so get in touch if you’d like to take part in all of the events.

Come ready to experiment freely, see through fresh eyes and rediscover the joy of drawing!
