Class size: 6 participants
We're delighted to offer a special opportunity to explore the beauty of the plant world through Dr. Costello's unique lens — now enriched with fresh inspiration from her recent sabbatical in Italy. Join her for an immersive, full-day botanical art experience designed to awaken your creative spirit and deepen your connection to the natural world. As a member of the prestigious Society of Botanical Artists in the UK, Dr. Costello will guide you through the fundamentals of botanical watercolor, working from a wide variety of flowers and plants while exploring beginning botany and the rich language flowers have carried throughout history. Begin your journey as an artist — step in, and create beauty in your own special way.
This warm, nurturing setting welcomes every level, from curious beginners to seasoned artists. The day includes a lovely group lunch, where we'll share our creations and connect with fellow kindred spirits. Dr. Costello will also introduce the 2027 curriculum for those interested in continuing their studies in botanical art and medicine.
