This one-day course is a chance to try your hand at the art of botanical illustration with a Christmas theme. Working under the guidance of artist Debbie Devauden, you’ll learn the techniques required to create your own Christmas card design.

There’ll also be a chance to get inspired by a handpicked selection from the Museum’s collection of over 7,000 botanical prints and drawings, many dating back to the eighteenth century. The stories behind these images are rich and intriguing in their own right. Museum curator Dr Heather Pardoe will be on hand to tell you more.

The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some experience – the price includes all materials and equipment required for the day.

You are welcome to bring a packed lunch or visit our on-site catering facilities. We can offer a 10% discount to course participants in our catering outlets* on production of your ticket. *(excludes Derwen Bakehouse)
