Art in the Barn is a twice yearly creative arts week held in the Spring and
Autumn, enabling you to choose from a range of workshops, to develop and explore
your artistic skills. Our workshops are held in an inspirational setting beneath
the South Downs, at Meon Springs Long Barn in Hampshire Art in the Barn is a
collaboration between artists Alison Butler (Blooming Designs) and Liz Wellby,
who met at Loughborough University whilst studying for degrees in Textiles and
Sculpture in the late 1980’s. The Location - a beautiful rural setting in the
upper Meon Valley in Hampshire (Meon Springs). The Venue - an inspirational
C18th thatched barn, that lends itself to art workshops. It is spacious, with
beautiful exposed beams, excellent natural light and superb views over the South
Downs. It is a real treat to retreat from day to day life. Our Facilitators -
