Inner Landscapes - The Halpern Gallery
Inner Landscapes is the first of the solo exhibitions as part of Ukrainian Art Month in Medway. This exhibition by Anna Moses presents a collection of abstract landscapes that explore inner listening, emotional resilience, and the subtle moments where transformation begins. The works do not depict literal places, but rather emotional and psychological spaces—quiet horizons shaped by memory, feeling, and intuition.

Young at Art - Lino Printing with Rachel Moore
Join resident artist, Rachel from iPrintedThat for a linocut workshop.
In this session we’ll be carving a simple design and using the jigsaw technique to add colour to our prints, creating layered results without the complexity of multiple blocks.
As this is a relatively short session, Rachel asks that you bring a design with you. This can be a drawing or a computer printout. Keep your design simple and postcard size (10cm x 15cm / approximately 4” x 6”). If you’re stuck for ideas then a quick Google for “linocut cut print”, for example, will bring up lots of options.
Suitable for beginners. £10pp
