Located in Lincolnshire, Easton Walled Gardens has been owned and managed by the Cholmeley family since 1561. Since 2001, Ursula and Fred Cholmeley have been restoring the ancient garden. In continuous development, the 12 acre gardens include herbaceous borders, meadow, roses, sweet peas, spring bulbs, cut flower and vegetable gardens, all set within the beautiful parkland.
The new Griffin of Easton, artists’ materials shop is the brainchild of the artist, Monty Cholmeley, who saw a gap in the market on account of the ever dwindling number of dedicated shops where artists can feel and see papers, paints and brushes – made by artisans, catering for every budget.
“Art and heritage go hand in hand and I hope visitors will feel inspired on their creative journey by visiting our shop,” explained Cholmeley.
Located in the Courtyard at Easton Walled Gardens, the new shop stocks a range of materials including Wallace Seymour oils, gouache, acrylic, inks and watercolours; A Gallo handmade Italian watercolours and Rosa watercolours from Ukraine.
The launch of Griffin of Easton Artists’ Materials accompanies a new events programme at Easton Walled Gardens, which includes art workshops.
