Our
residential centre is in the more quiet part of Middleham near the Top Cross,
opposite the Medieval Castle and away from the main road and Market Place.
We
only accept small groups on our courses so that individual members are given
every opportunity to work towards their own goals and benefit from our high
quality personal tuition.
ACCOMMODATION:
There are three guest rooms all on the floor above the sculpture studio. The
front bedroom (1) has the best view of the Castle and the passing racehorses
each morning, it is twin bedded with en-suite facilities as has the double
bedroom (2) at the back of the building. The third room, is a single room,
close to separate toilet facilities. We also have a 'student style' room
available at a reduced rate...
Additional accommodation can usually be arranged nearby with all our course
members having their meals together at the Arts Workshop. Please
phone for further details
CATERING
- Meals here are of very high quality, home cooked and prepared with
considerable individual care and attention taking into account any special
dietary requirements or preferences. We are not licensed but wine is often
seen on the dinner table either from generous course members or as gifts from
ourselves.
COURSE

summer week studio courses begin on Sunday with dinner at 7-30pm and end on

COURSE
TUTORS:
Peter
Hibbard is the
resident tutor for the majority of studio courses and for the tours. It is
now 20 years since Peter and Judith Hibbard established the 'Old School Arts
Workshop' at Middleham. Its international reputation as a centre of
excellence for residential short courses is partly built on Peter's
comprehensive knowledge of sculptural technique, his skill as a teacher and his
personal experience as a professional sculptor, a former assistant to Henry
Moore and an artist whose studio is packed with new creative sculptural work.
Duncan Storr - is a very popular tutor with a wealth of information to offer course members. He is a professional illustrator whose work is regularly used by many of the major publishing houses and as CD covers etc., His exciting personal work explores both real and imagined subjects..........
In addition to our programme of studio courses we recommend Middleham as a centre for relaxing holidays with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
