Art in Ravenstonedale

Residential art classes are organised by David & Caroline of the Scar Art Gallery. Participants enjoy expert tuition within the tranquil surrounds of this wonderful part of Cumbria. When art classes are running, participants can be seen scattered around the village transferring local scenes to paper and canvas.

There is a disproportionately large number of painters, both professional and amateur in the two villages of Ravenstonedale and its near neighbour Newbiggin-on-Lune. Could this be due in part to the special qualities of light and clean air that we enjoy? Set between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales national parks these beautiful villages lend themselves to the quiet activities of art lovers from around the world.

In times past Edward Jeffrey, a very accomplished Landscape painter and illustrator of the 'Toby Twirl' children's books, published 1946 - 1958, lived in Ravenstonedale.
