Join illustrator Rose Colbeck for a full day on the farm where you will be taught the techniques behind botanical illustration. This workshop is an opportunity to step away from hectic schedules and life’s demands to focus in on nature’s amazing beauty. Throughout the day Rose will guide you as you work on a couple of drawings to take home with you.

Rose’s clear, calm instruction provides the encouraging support needed to get a piece started, even if this is your first time drawing. Nestled in busy Camperdown, Pocket City Farms provides a patch of vibrant growth and inspiration for city dwellers looking for a dose of green.  Put Rose and the farm together, and you’re in for a great time.

Certain plants will spark joy for different people, so if there is a plant of beauty from home that you would like to draw, please bring it on the day. You’ll leave the workshop with skills in creating your own portfolio of botanical beauty, and art materials to keep going.
