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.

Dates for the courses we will run in 2018 —there are 3 types of courses

A 3-Day Introduction to Botanical Illustration 4-6th May

Our introductory course focuses on botanical drawing from accurate line drawing to shading to create form. The course includes a half-day of botanical study. Full details are on the Eden Project’s website plus a booking form.

A 5-DAY Complete Introduction to Botanical Drawing and Painting, date TBD

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, date TBD

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.

All courses will be held in the fantastic surroundings of the Eden Project Mediterranean Biome. Two of our three tutors Ros Franklin, Mally Francis and Laura Silburn will be teaching on each course with a maximum number of 16 students. Courses are suitable for complete beginners or intermediate artists.
