Our new public programming has an expanded offer of talks and creative workshops.
Creative workshops
Our creative workshops are inspired by our Mulberry Garden and/or themes of Hogarth’s work and are often lead by local artists. Our team also lead regular printing workshops on Blind Embossing/Debossing and Drypoint using the intaglio printing press in our Weston Studio.
Check our What’s On for upcoming workshop dates.

Virtual series: Midday Modern Conversations
This Spring and Summer, members of our team are having conversations with specialists and experts on a range of intriguing topics including: 18th century lapdogs, printing, mulberry trees and more! Our conversations will, we hope be a little more coherent than those taking place in the Hogarth work that was the inspiration for the series name. Videos available on our YouTube channel and below. Podcast available from https://anchor.fm/hogarths-house
