A workshop with Leigh Chappell and Andrea Verenini

At Pauntley Court - 24th October 2023

Tameless is an opportunity to create with freedom: no briefs or budgets, no pressure to conform. Our aim is to create an inspiring environment where you can experiment, explore, and take your time to enjoy the creative process; where you can follow the germ of an idea through to its realisation in images that capture your instincts and vision. 

The name of the project encompasses this unguided approach, but also the energy we want to bring to our chosen venue. The exquisite and exquisitely lit interiors of Pauntley Court in Gloucestershire present the perfect space to set the beauty of classical elegance against a looser, more naturalistic floral style.

With the help of acclaimed photographer Andrea Verenini (who soon departs these shores for Italy), we want to document not just “finished” pieces but the story of their making. We want you to come away with a nuanced record of your experience, adding depth to your portfolio and, perhaps, suggesting paths you might want to follow further in the future.   

With materials (both dried and fresh) provided by Ravenshill Flower Farm, design tuition from Leigh Chappell, and Andrea’s expert eye for lighting and composition, Tameless is a chance to intertwine flowers and photography in fresh and rewarding ways.

Early bird tickets at £280 until 10th October, £325 thereafter – to include materials, lunch, and access to all images.
