Summer of creativity at Kelmscott Manor

Enjoy a unique summer of creativity as SDC member and acclaimed visual artist Jessica Palmer and award-winning poet Robert Seatter bring the fascinating stories and compelling atmosphere of Kelmscott Manor to life.

Event details

Overview

In mid-June, Jessica Palmer will create a large 3-D model of the Manor out of recycled materials, enabling visitors – and especially families and children – to experience the house up close and personal. They will be encouraged to contribute to this living ‘house of words’ by writing poems, stories and love letters to the house and its objects and posting these through its cardboard doors and windows.
