Join us to celebrate the summer and explore the wonderful world of flowers and plants in the stunning surrounds of the Conservatory. 

A variety of ethically sourced and seasonal plants, flowers, and fabulous foliage will provide the subject matter to inspire your artworks. The two hour class will include an introduction into the history of botanical illustration and a live demonstration on how to draw flowers, with tips on structure, shading and style.

Artist and illustrator Jennie Webber will be on hand for tips and advice throughout . All abilities are welcome, from experienced artists to those needing a little more creative guidance. You'll leave feeling calm, relaxed and mindful. 

We'll be donating 10% of ticket income (ex VAT) to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

Non-Member guests are welcome but must have their own ticket.

This event has been rescheduled from Mon 18 Jul due to forecast extreme temperatures. Bookers have been contacted.
