Bee Creative Evening Brings a Late Summer Buzz to Clandeboye
4th September, 2024
We recently celebrated the launch of our new Honey Greek Style Yoghurt with our very first “Bee Creative” Painting Workshop at Clandeboye.
The workshop was led by renowned local artist Dawn Crothers, who operates a successful gallery and art studio just a few miles from the estate. Embracing the honey theme, participants gathered in the conservatory of the private walled gardens. After enjoying a glass of fizz, they began painting their “Honeybees” on canvas with acrylic paints. Expertly guided step by step by Dawn, by the end of the evening everyone had completed their own unique work of art and took them out into the Bee Garden for a photo opportunity next to Clandeboye’s famous thatched BeeHive.
“The launch evening was a tremendous success,” said Patrick Black, Clandeboye Yoghurt’s Commercial Manager. “It was wonderful to welcome aspiring artists and share the beauty of the late summer gardens with them. Lady Dufferin was herself a passionate artist and her paintings are featured on the packaging of our core product range including the new Honey Greek pots. What’s more, all our guests left with a supply of our delicious products to share at home with their friends and family.”
