PAT BULLEN-WHATLING GALLERY

Pat Bullen-Whatling, fitting a ‘tooth’ to her 42’ (13 metre) Willow Dragon, while behind (under the first tree) her White Park Cow stares on, unblinking.

The little stream (at the bottom right of the picture) added a bucolic calm to this already idyllic spot with its constant and unwavering ‘cluck and chatter’.

Pat worked for several hours each day before her visitors arrived and again after they had left to ensure that the framework of each piece was ready for their input. Though she was then able to devote all her time to showing her visitors the best way to proceed she was quite happy for them to do it ‘their way’ - and the results, in happiness alone - were spectacular!

Excellent activities and a super teacher. Range of activities was appropriate for my 5 year old son, teenage daughter and myself. Relaxing and fun.

Very nice people, helpful and interesting. Kids and myself had a great time - hands on, thank you! And worksheets to take home - hours of entertainment for the kids. Marvellous!!
