Leader, watercolourists David Cox and Peter DeWint, examples by Barbara Hepworth, Laura Knight and Elizabeth Frink, to more contemporary works by artists such as Gillian Ayers, Bruce Maclean and Jock McFadyen to name but a few.

The educational focus is presently on the permanent collection, where workshops cover all stages of the Art & Design and History Curriculum and can be tailored to specific needs. Themes available include: Portraits, Munching Caterpillars and beautiful Butterflies, Toys of the Past, Gloves and Shoes - click [here] for more details, as well as the popular Worcestershire at War - click [here] for more details.
