Arts in East Herts was launched in 2024 to boost participation in arts and cultural activities. It is hoped that Arts in East Herts will become an annual event. Throughout September and October, individual artists and crafts people as well as arts organisations will showcase the rich artistic and cultural tapestry of East Herts through exhibitions, performances and workshops, delivered under the Arts in East Herts umbrella. Last year saw over 40 arts organisations - from the visual and performing arts and artisan crafts through to galleries, museums and heritage sites, delivering over 300 workshops and events - Arts in East Herts truly provides something for everyone excited about arts and culture.

Workshop with
Gabrielle Vickery
​About Gabrielle.
I’m Gabrielle Vickery, a professional fine artist and tutor and the founder of The Arthouse Oasis in Great Hallingbury, where I love helping both adults and older children discover the joy of creating art. My own work and teaching span drawing, watercolour, acrylics and oils, with a particular passion for painting and for helping people build confidence in their own creative ability.
Workshop with
Jo Sinclair
About Jo
I studied Graphic design and illustration at Bath Academy of Art and the Cooper Union, New York.
I am passionate about the magic of pure watercolour, but I work on larger acrylic and oil paintings, landscapes, townscapes, marine subjects, and portraits. She works in a lively, colourful, modern impressionistic style, capturing light, mood and the essence of place.

Workshop with
Caroline Clark
About Caroline
I am a fine artist with over 25 years of experience, based on the borders of rural Essex and Hertfordshire, creating landscapes, still lifes and abstrcts.
Alongside my own work, I am a passionate teacher, working with all levels but specialising in beginners. I spend much of my time teaching children in after-school clubs and guiding adults as they build confidence in painting — something I have been doing since my 20s.
