There’s something rather lovely about the garden in winter. 🌿❄️ The borders may be quieter, but seed heads, bare stems, winter foliage and the structure of the plants all take on a beauty of their own.
Join us on Saturday 30 January for a relaxing Botanical Watercolour Illustration Workshop in the Glasshouse, where you’ll spend a creative day observing the garden and learning the art of botanical illustration. 🎨🖌️
Guided by talented local botanical artist Alison Walker, a member of the Irish Society of Botanical Artists, you’ll discover how to capture the delicate details, structure and character of plants using pencil and watercolour.
Throughout the day, Alison will guide you through careful observation, drawing techniques and watercolour application, helping you create your own beautiful botanical study inspired by the garden. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to develop your skills, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
🎫 £100 per person
Your day includes:
🖌️ A leisurely seasonal walk through the Walled Garden
🖌️ Expert tuition from Alison Walker
🖌️ All materials provided, including pencils, watercolours, brushes and specialist paper
🖌️ Morning and afternoon refreshments with homemade treats
🖌️ A delicious homemade lunch served in our Glasshouse
If the weather is kind, we’ll spend some time outdoors, so please dress appropriately for the season.
🧑🤝🧑 Come with a friend or enjoy a peaceful day for yourself. It’s a chance to slow down, look a little more closely at the natural world and spend a day being creative, whatever your previous experience.
And you’ll leave with your own botanical painting to frame and treasure. 🌿🎨
🎁 Looking for a Christmas gift that’s a little different? This would make a lovely present for anyone who enjoys art, gardens and the simple pleasure of creating something by hand. Rather than another thing to unwrap, it’s a whole day to enjoy, with a little piece of the Walled Garden to take home. 🎄
Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
