Allie will demonstrate her technique of using oil based paints to create delicate botanical works of art. We will discuss the type of foliage which is most suitable to use and encourage you to pay attention to the different leaf structures and textures as you are gathering your material from the garden at Damson Farm. In the afternoon you can continue experimenting with different shapes and papers and make a series of cards to take home. Allie will also give you a goody pack of materials so that you can continue your new found skills at home.

Allie Sylvester is an artist and printmaker based in Totnes, Devon. She originally trained in jewellery and metalwork before completing an MA in Fine Art Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art.

Lunch

Alison will prepare a simple vegetarian lunch including produce from the garden. We will round up the day with tea and cake. If you have any specific dietary requests do let us know on the booking form.

What to Bring

Check the weather forecast before you travel and ensure you bring appropriate clothing, whether that’s waterproofs or sun hats, or possibly both!  You may wish to bring a notebook and camera too.

Getting Here

Directions will be emailed to you a couple of weeks before the workshop. Use Damson Farm rather than the postcode on Google Maps.
