BOTANICAL ART TALKS
Meet the artists behind the art, as they talk through
favourite botanical art projects or techniques.
​
These one-hour online talks, started during the Pandemic, aim to connect those inspired by botanical art at every level, whether beginner or professional artist. Presentations (delivered via Zoom) are richly illustrated with examples of artwork and/or technique demonstrations, followed by the opportunity for Q&A. Every talk is unique in style, reflecting the personality and interests of each artist.

Scroll down to see upcoming speakers. Book to either watch live, giving you the opportunity to interact with the speaker, or to watch a recording during the following week. (You can view short extracts from previous talks and full-length Best Bits videos HERE).
