Bawdsey Manor
is located at the mouth of the
River Deben overlooking the North Sea near Felixstowe, Suffolk. The Manor
House and its gardens, built by Sir Cuthbert Quilter in the late 1880's
reflect Edwardian, Tudor, Flemish and Oriental influences, set in 150
acres of woodland next to the sea, providing a stunning location, ideal
for stone carving courses as activity weekend
breaks. Accommodation in the Manor House offers single and double
rooms with magnificent sea views.
Bawdsey
Manor Arts was refurbished in 2003 to
provide facilities for a range of residential fine art 2D and 3D courses
including drawing, painting and stone carving. The original building dates
back to 1940 and was previously occupied by the RAF when Bawdsey operated
as a radar station during and after WW2. The white 'Bauhaus' building,
situated near the Manor House, provides an excellent backdrop to carving
in stone. The gallery has been made available for artists to exhibit their
work and there is also a sculpture garden, a short walk from the art
centre, providing exhibition space regularly open to the
public.
Partners or
friends not participating in the workshops can stay full board in the
Manor House for the weekend, or for a week, to relax and visit the Suffolk Heritage Coast. There are many
attractions nearby for visitors such as Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, Snape
Maltings, Aldeburgh, Moot Hall Museum and Framlingham Castle.
The
dramatic setting of the Manor House overlooks stunning views of the ever
changing coastline; beaches, groynes and harbours provide a never
ending range of unusual stimuli and resource material, all within a short
walk from the art centre.
