Eden Botanical Courses
We currently run courses for non-members in association with the Eden Project. If you are a member, please see our Events pages for specialist courses you can sign up to.
For Spring 2019 we are running two 3-Day courses.

Join a botanical artist from The Eden Project Florilegium Society for a special three days at the Eden Project, where they will guide you through the techniques of graphite drawing and shading and how to turn this into a finished illustration. Full details are on the Eden Project’s website and you can book here
All courses are held in the fantastic surroundings of the Eden Project Mediterranean Biome. Laura Silburn will teach the course. Courses are suitable for complete beginners or intermediate artists.

Below are past courses we have run with The Eden Project.
A 5-DAY Complete Introduction to Botanical Drawing and Painting
This course aims to give you a thorough introduction to drawing and painting plants and combines our two previous introductions into one week-long course. Including a half-day of botanical study, the course aims to help you create a finished piece by the end of the week.
A 3-DAY Preparing a Botanical Study Page
This new course will go through everything you need to record to create a botanical study page. This can then be used to produce an accurate piece of botanical art although a study page can be an attractive work of art in its own right.
