Mindful Printmaking

Explore guided creative activities with Derbyshire Mind in partnership with Chatsworth - Celebrating the Cascade

Derbyshire Mind, in partnership with Chatsworth, will be hosting wellbeing sessions as part of the Celebrating the Cascade project.

The session in August will be hosted by the wonderful, Diane from Chatsworth alongside Derbyshire Mind.

The details of the what the session will look like are as follows:

Mindful Printmaking

Inspired by the waterways and the beautiful gardens at Chatsworth, the day begins with a gentle, mindful walk. You’ll have time to observe your surroundings, sketch, and collect natural materials—gathering ideas and inspiration for the afternoon session.

In the afternoon, we move indoors into a calm and supportive space to explore guided creative activities. Using your morning observations and collected materials, you’ll be invited into a relaxed printmaking session, translating your ideas into a range of prints.

The day is designed to encourage creative self-expression while promoting mindfulness through art, craft and printmaking - all inspired by nature.

What is Wellbeing at Chatsworth?

The Wellbeing at Chatsworth sessions have been created to delight and inspire you. We invite you to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature in the garden and wider landscape. Find balance as you step away from daily routines and pause with us by still and flowing waters. We invite you to open your heart and mind to the environment and connect with our wonderful surroundings.
