SUMMARY:Wiltshire and the World: John Aubrey and the Quest for Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:John Aubrey was born in the small hamlet of Easton Piercy\, near Kington St Michael. Four hundred years later\, this exhibition celebrates the life and work of this extraordinary individual. \nWhen Aubrey was born in 1626\, it seemed that life would never change. But when he was just sixteen\, the English Civil War broke out\, and things changed rapidly. As old certainties unravelled\, space was created for an explosion of new ideas. Not all of this change was positive\, however. Advances in some areas were met with destruction in others. \nThroughout his life\, Aubrey was on a quest for knowledge. He wanted to learn everything he could. He grew up in Wiltshire\, but his vision was global. What he observed in the local countryside\, its people and places\, he expanded into a wider\, interconnected view of the world. From the ancient monuments of prehistoric peoples to contemporary ballads sung in the streets\, nothing escaped his notice. Seeing and doing things for himself\, rather than relying on what had been done before\, was central to his understanding. \nWhen Aubrey could not gain first-hand experience\, he sought out those who could. He consulted and collaborated with a wide range of people. He was not concerned with their background; instead\, he proudly credited and celebrated the knowledge and experiences they held. \nAubrey’s insatiable thirst for knowledge left an extraordinary legacy. When he saw historically important places and objects being destroyed\, he recorded them before it was too late. He gathered the unfiltered life stories of both the important and the not so important people of his time. He also looked to the future\, with plans to create an environment in which science and learning could flourish in the Wiltshire countryside. \nThis exhibition brings original manuscripts\, paintings and books back to Wiltshire and the area Aubrey knew for the first time since his death in 1697. Through them\, we can witness John Aubrey’s quest for knowledge and be inspired to begin our own. \nThe exhibition forms part of the Chippenham – Our History project.

SUMMARY:Taste of Summer: Painting Fruits in Watercolour
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the colours and flavours of summer with this relaxed and joyful watercolour workshop. You’ll explore the vibrant shapes\, textures\, and hues of seasonal fruits\, learning how to bring them to life on paper in a fresh\, expressive way. \nWe’ll cover approachable watercolour techniques for painting juicy berries\, citrus\, stone fruits\, and more\, with guidance on colour mixing\, light\, and shadow to help your paintings feel bright and full of energy. There’ll be pieces of fruit and reference images on the table for inspiration\, and you can choose to paint a single piece of fruit\, a small group\, or try painting a few different fruits – the choice is yours! \nThis session is beginner-friendly and low-pressure\, with an emphasis on enjoyment and experimentation rather than technical perfection. I’ll be on hand to offer as much or as little guidance as you’d like\, supporting you as you explore painting something new in your own style. \nYou’ll take home your painting along with an Introduction to Watercolour booklet to inspire you to continue with watercolour at home. \nWe’ll have exclusive use of The Waverley’s spacious main upstairs room\, and a complimentary drink of your choice is included in your ticket. \nAll materials are provided (or feel free to bring your own favourites)\, and no prior drawing experience is needed – just curiosity\, a love of colour\, and a willingness to have fun with paint!
