Gain an insight into Laura Ellen Bacon’s work and her inspiration at Beningbrough

Join acclaimed sculptor Laura Ellen Bacon for an intimate talk exploring the inspiration behind her newly commissioned willow sculptures, featured in Whispers of the Wilderness at Beningbrough Hall. Discover how her organic forms respond to the architecture and atmosphere of the Hall, and how the surrounding wilderness garden shaped her creative process.
