Join us for a very special afternoon event in our Indoor Gallery with one of Britain’s master Glassmakers - Neil Wilkin. Visitors to the Sculpture Garden will be familiar with Wilkin’s work - lining the edge of ponds and bursting from the lush planting as if a brand new species of flower. Capturing the delight of young and old, there is no denying Neil Wilkin’s incredible skill and imagination.

Saturday 21st February

Timings: 3pm to 5pm, including interval.

~ £40 special early bird price!! ~

Gallery Curator Vikki Leedham will host the afternoon - as Neil takes us on a journey through his artistic practice, inspiration, challenges and commissions. Where and when did it all begin? The answer might surprise you!

Most notably, especially for a glass maker, Neil and his partner - and fellow glass artist - Roberta Mason have strived to make their custom studio carbon-neutral. No mean feat when their practice relies on extraordinary heat to form their work - so Neil will share this truly inspiring aspect of his practice.

A visual journey will accompany Neil and Vikki’s conversation - prepare to be swept away into a glorious, technicolour world of incredible glass.

The event will be broken in two, separated by an interval with refreshments provided. The second half will feature questions from the audience - so get your thinking caps on!

Light refreshments* will be provided in the interval.

The Indoor Gallery is located up a flight of stairs - at this time the space does not have disabled access.
