Learning, thinking, making

Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire

Henry Moore’s focus on sculpture was not only as a practitioner, but also as a scholar, teacher, writer and supporter.

Our mission is to help you engage with the visual arts, sculpture, and Moore.

Take a free guided tour with your education group, participate in events led by creative professionals, or develop a collaborative project with us and your community group.

Collaborative projects

We collaborate with educational organisations, community interest companies, and creative practitioners, to develop thematic projects with meaningful outcomes.

Please get in touch if you’re interested in partnering with us.

Educators events

Meet up online to discuss what activities work best for your students.

These events are an informal space where teachers can talk about projects, challenges and discuss potential future collaborations with us.
