About

Visit the rural scenes of John Constable and his contemporaries in the final week of ‘Discover Constable and The Hay Wain.’ 

Karly Allen leads this reflective session. See how Constable painted this truthful vision of the Suffolk landscape and the many drawings he sketched before completing his finished work. Contemplate the mystic, spiritual landscapes of William Blake, the atmospheric light of William Mulready and other artists from this time.

Karly will take you on a journey of the themes and paintings of this exhibition. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and share your own reflections. 

Speaker

Karly Allen has 25 years' experience of designing and facilitating art engagement programmes for museum collections, with a focus on the art of close looking. Karly enriches her teaching with her training as a mindfulness teacher and drawing practitioner. Through her work with Limina Collective, she contributes to the emerging international field of mindfulness in museums.
