The Heaton Cooper Studio, Grasmere, is the home of mountaineering art in the heart of the Lakes. They are delighted to sponsor a fantasy sheep for the Go Herdwick project, one of which will be decorated by children at Grasmere School. It’s a great charity initiative which will bring Herdwicks into Lakeland towns and villages and support all that the Calvert Trust do in the Lakes for people with disabilities.

We’re thrilled to be taking part in the Go Herdwick project. We’re keen supporters of the Calvert Trusts work, and this project felt like a natural fit for us with the Dunning family background in farming. It’s an innovative way to encourage exploration of the area for visitors and locals alike, and a great platform to support the creative community and emerging young artists.
