Sarah Nelson: Live Drawing in The Walled Gardens - Raby Estates

Discover the joy of drawing in the beautiful surroundings of Raby Castle with acclaimed artist Sarah Nelson.

Set in the stunning walled gardens of Raby Castle, Park & Garden, this relaxed 90‑minute live drawing class invites you to explore expressive artwork while working directly from your surroundings. Guided by Sarah, you’ll create your own unique drawing of Raby to take home – no previous experience required.

Sarah Nelson, whose Dales home and studio was recently featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, is known for her figurative work, which has been widely exhibited throughout the UK, most notably at The Royal Academy, and The Clyde & Co London. Passionate about making art accessible to everyone, Sarah encourages all participants to feel confident, creative, and inspired.

Is car parking available at the Studios?

Car parking is easy at Mole Studios , the studio door is a few yards from the car park .

Please note that the landscaping is not finished and that there is a step up from ground level into the studio.

Who are the classes for?

The studio is a space for anyone: beginners who want to loosen up or more experienced artists who wish to bring greater energy and immediacy to their work. My classes are designed to gently reconnect with the joy of making art without pressure or judgment.

Here, art isn’t about being ‘good’ it’s about expression, confidence and finding your own unique way of seeing the world.
