WHAT’S ON?

ART SHOW BY LOCAL ARTIST HILARY WATKINSON “HAPPINESS ON CANVAS”- 7th & 8th OCTOBER 2023
Art Exhibition by local artist Hilary Watkinson, retired teacher, published poet and artist.
Hilary’s paintings are contemporary, abstract, colourful and innovative interpretations of gardens in action. She is self-taught and didn’t start painting until in her 60’s. Refusing to be limited by arthritis and her inability to grip a paintbrush, Hilary uses acrylics on canvas applied with a kitchen spatula and also (very messy!) pouring paint techniques to captivate garden memories and principally how the wind effects the energy in the plants. Original paintings to view and with the opportunity to purchase. Happiness captured on canvas.
Please click the link below for the calendar of all our open days.
There is a WC and shop inside the mill. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the building, there is no disabled access to the windmill.
Before visiting the mill please bear in mind that we are a working windmill with stairs to reach each floor so flip flops, scarves and loose clothing may not be the most appropriate. Thank you.
