"Just five students! Such a small class allowed me to give each one time to practice and to learn."
Deborah Lambkin
"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!"
Carol Woodin
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
We guarantee a maximum of 5 students in a class. This is by far the best student-to-tutor ratio of any residential botanical art retreat in Europe today and an indication of the importance we attach to learning. If you are hoping to join a class for the first time, please 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.
Prices
Our 2026 classes cost EUR 2800.
Our 2027 classes cost EUR 3100 if you sign up in 2026, thereafter EUR 3250.
These fees cover 30+ hours of tuition over 5 days, accommodation in your own bedroom for 6 nights, full board incl. drinks, Sibiu airport/town centre transfers to and from us provided you are three or more in the transport we arrange for you, and all adventures at dawn and dusk.
No hidden costs!
Refunds & Cancellations
We shall refund 75% of your deposit if you cancel at least 4 months before the class.
If we are obliged to abandon a class because the tutor cancels at the last minute, we offer you a choice. You may reschedule with the same or another tutor at the listed price within 18 months. And if this does not appeal, we shall return your money minus an administration fee of EUR250.
