SUMMARY:The Iris Florilegium of Sir Cedric Morris
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the national Finnis Scott Foundation Botanical Art Award\nDr Siân Dawson inspired the idea and coordinated the illustrated catalogue of paintings called Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium. It is a book by leading botanical artists who painted the Florilegium of the unique award-winning irises bred by Sir Cedric Morris (1889–1982)\, artist and gardener who lived at Benton End\, Hadleigh\, Suffolk. Morris propagated the Benton End bearded irises between 1933 and 1960\, now held in the National Plant Collection cultivated by Sarah Cook\, horticultural expert and former head gardener at Sissinghurst\, Kent. \nThe Florilegium comprises 27 botanical watercolour paintings\, meticulously observed and accurately recorded of known cultivated varieties of bearded iris growing today. Many of the artists are Gold Medal winners for Botanical Art from the Royal Horticultural Society. Each artist explains their work in the accompanying caption. The Finnis Scott Foundation Botanical Art Award is the most valuable award of its kind. Dr Dawson was delighted to receive\, on behalf of all the artists\, such a prestigious award. \nThis exhibition is the first time the Sir Cedric Morris Florilegium collection has been displayed in full. It will be available with Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines at Gainsborough’s House from 6 July – 3 November 2024.

SUMMARY:Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis exhibition is the first to chart the phenomenal artistic careers of Cedric Morris (1889–1982) and Arthur Lett-Haines (1894–1978)\, who were partners in love and art for sixty years.  \nWith over eighty loans from Tate\, the National Portrait Gallery and a wealth of private collections\, the range of their art becomes apparent. Morris is celebrated not only for his flower paintings and still lives but also for portraits and landscapes\, and Lett-Haines is revealed as an important figure in developing Surrealist art in Britain. They famously met on Armistice Night in 1918 and spent the 1920s absorbing European Modernism in France\, Italy and Germany\, meeting a huge range of artists and writers. Their paintings\, drawings and sculptures are highly distinctive and have a unique place in the history of twentieth-century art. \nBased in Suffolk for most of their lives\, primarily at Benton End\, they established the East Anglian School for Painting and Drawing in 1937 which taught a generation of artists including Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a publication\, The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines featuring essays by Richard Morphet\, Sean Burns\, Emma Boyd and exhibition curator\, Dr Patricia Hardy\, with an interview between Calvin Winner and Maggi Hambling\, priced at £22.50 published by Gainsborough’s House and printed by Blackmore Ltd. \nThe exhibition is sponsored by The Cedric Morris Foundation and Philip Mould & Company. \nThis exhibition tours to Charleston in Firle\, West Sussex\, from 16 November 2024 – 23 February 2025 as ‘Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines: a radical art school’.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Drypoint with Chine-Collé
DESCRIPTION:with Sally Weatherill\nDrypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique\, in which an image is incised into a plate with a hard-pointed needle.

Refunds will be given after this date only if the place is re-sold.  \nCourse structure\n\nExplanation of the technique with examples.\nDemonstration of drypoint tools and techniques.\nCreate an A5 image using acetate using a drypoint needle to incise lines.\nSand\, cut and use rubbings and tapes to add textured marks.\nLayer your acetate to create varied experimental images.\nApplication of ink using scrim and wiping techniques to create tonality.\nPreparation of paper.\nPrinting using the etching presses.\nAdd colour with inking à la poupée.\n\nAbout Sally\nSally Weatherill is an abstract artist working in both paint and print.
