"One of the world's plant paradises that should not be missed by serious botanical artists. And what bliss to be able to offer focused instruction in wildflower depiction in a studio with great natural lighting & the support of a talented botanist."
Margaret Best

"The small class size is ideal.
We could really focus. And the wild flower meadows are stunning!"

​We guarantee a tutor-to-student ratio of 1:6 or lower in every class, the best of any residential botanical art retreat in Europe today.
​
If you are hoping to join a class for the first time, be sure to tell us about yourself as an artist. ​
​
We are strictly unable to accommodate non-participating partners and pets of students.
​
​A reasonable level of fitness is needed to explore this hilly landscape.
