Dartington Moon Bird, 2021
A bird, high up in a tree, blends with the tone of the foliage, against a moonlit sky. Silver ink mixed with prussian and violet blues emulate a range of early evening and twilight atmospheres.
We are delighted to soon be selling this incredible limited edition print from @tomhammick1 which was created during his residency at Dartington this summer. Profits from the sales of this print will contribute to the ongoing Arts Programme at Dartington Trust.
There will only be 100 variable woodcuts, 91 x 60cm and will cost £480.
These will be going on display in the Welcome Centre in next couple of weeks! To reserve a print or find out more please email hello@shops.dartington.org
Tom Hammick is known for using landscape as a metaphor to explore an “imaginary and mythological dreamscape.” Drawing from a wide range of sources, from Japanese woodblock prints to Northern European Romantic painting and contemporary cinema, Hammick’s depictions of isolated human dwellings grounded in uncanny dream-like settings summon the uneasy atmosphere of a psychologically-charged thriller, or a dystopian suburban nightmare.
As Dartington Music Summer School & Festival draws to a close with the final concerts this evening, we would just like to say a huge thank you to all the musicians, tutors, students, concert-goers, Dartington staff and more who have helped us to bring such wonderful music back to the estate over the past four weeks.
Given the difficult and ever-changing circumstances, it was certainly not what you might call a “normal” Summer School experience, but against all the odds, everyone came together to learn, listen, play and perform once again.
We must also extend our apologies to all those who were unable to come due to Covid, especially all those who were so looking forward to the Week 2 programme we were forced to cancel.
A special thank you also goes to our new artistic director, Sara Mohr-Pietsch, who worked so hard on her first programme under such difficult circumstances - certainly not what she expected when joining the team in 2019!
Please enjoy some of these images from the past few weeks taken by Summer School’s veteran photographer of three decades, Kate Mount, who many of you will have seen gracing the backs of teaching rooms and concerts over the past few weeks.
We cannot wait to welcome you all back for 2022 - plans are already well underway!

Spend an evening listening to incredible world class musicians at one of our Summer School concerts. Check our what’s on section for details.
The fourth and final week of Summer School (14-20 Aug) will be focussed purely on Festival concerts, and takes an experimental / collaborative turn as we welcome a host of innovative artists to the Great Hall. For the first time this year, we are welcoming the public back inside to enjoy the music, so be sure to browse the programme today and book your tickets early to avoid disappointment!
