Castle Workshop Classes

Under the guidance of experienced art teachers, children get to work on their own art projects in the Castle Studio. The teachers take the children on a tour of the castle and the gardens, which serve as inspiration for their own creations. This sparks a constant stream of new ideas for drawing, painting, printmaking, or working with textiles. Each child works in his or her own way and creates something that is entirely unique to him or her.

  • For children ages 7 through 12
  • Painting, drawing, printmaking, and textiles
  • Inspiration from the castle, the collection, the gardens, and nature
  • 14 lessons in a small group
  • To conclude, we present the works of art
