Join artist Martin Brockman for an intensive five-day summer school exploring material, process and experimentation within the landscape.

Working directly from the fields, woodland and surrounding environment, participants will gather, process and transform natural materials through a series of immersive practical workshops rooted in traditional skills, outdoor making and contemporary artistic practice.

Across five distinct sessions, participants will work with charcoal, clay, timber, chalk, pigments, paper and field-found materials — culminating in a professionally curated exhibition at BlackShed Gallery at the end of the week.

Suitable for:

  • Artists wishing to reconnect with material processes and experimental practice

  • Students developing portfolios or preparing for further study

  • Makers, walkers and curious beginners interested in landscape, craft and outdoor making

  • Anyone prepared to arrive with open eyes, open hands and a blank sheet of paper
