About this Event
Join art historian and writer Francesca Ramsay for a tour of the exhibition, ‘Harry Brockway: Ways with Wood’ followed by a walk following in Harry’s footsteps as we climb Glastonbury Tor.
Join Francesca for a private viewing of the exhibition before we open the museum to the public. Francesca will share more about Harry’s remarkable career as a wood engraver, details of how the exhibition was put together, and the stories behind some of the works.
This will be followed by a guided walk up Glastonbury Tor, a place Harry took his daily walk heading out from the studio at the bottom of his garden. We will pause enroute to discover more about Harry and his approach to life and art.
On returning to the Museum a restorative treat of tea, coffee and cake will be served.
