See & Do

Drop-in activity

Garden & Gather: Botanical Blueprints

Drop in any time between 13:30–15:30

Studios & Gardens, Hertfordshire

Included in an annual ticket

Kick off the season with our first Garden & Gather activity, inspired by the beauty of Henry and his wife Irina’s garden!

Discover the magic of cyanotype printing, a sun-powered alternative to photography. Explore the grounds to collect interesting natural shapes and objects, then use them to design your own Moore-inspired cardboard form.

Once arranged, leave your artwork to bask in the sunlight and let nature do the rest! As the sun works its magic, your unique botanical blueprint will be revealed – capturing a little piece of Henry Moore’s landscape in your own creation.

This is a wonderful opportunity to see the gardens through Moore’s eyes, drawing inspiration from nature while making something special to take home.

Recommended for ages 5+ and their accompanying adults.

Please wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather.
