The landscape around our Bransbury studio is often referred to as ‘quintessential Hampshire’, with its chalkstream, thatched cottages, Bransbury Common, farmland and byways. There are images of such landscapes on biscuit tins and jigsaw puzzles in every gift shop in the country. In this workshop you will be encouraged to think about how it feels to be in the landscape, and part of it. You will be in an ancient landscape, walking in the footsteps of people long gone. However your experience of the time at Bransbury combines both the present and the past, and links across time.

From the top edge of this wood you can see Stockbridge Down, Danebury Ring, and other hill top strongholds. Walking through the woods you have a sense of other travellers, others walking through and working in the space. Coppicing and charcoal burning, for example, is still practised as it has been for centuries.
