5. Art in the gardens: Wild Impressions :Exploration of texture and print: Sunday 13th December 2026

Discover the beautiful textures and patterns hidden in nature in this hands-on creative workshop in our glorious botanical gardens.

At this months creative catch up we'll be exploring the art of clay impressions and botanical printmaking, using the amazing and enchanting natural elements surrounding us in the gardens, such as leaves, flowers, seed pods and interesting organic shapes to create our own unique textures and designs.

As always we'll begin by exploring and connecting with our surroundings at the gardens, taking time to immerse ourselves in the shapes, colours and texture of the gardens.

Then after garthering our desired textures, we begin by pressing these natural materials into our soft clay to capture their intricate details, creating beautiful textured surfaces and one-of-a-kind impressions. Then we'll explore the magic of printmaking, using our natural stamps, ink pads and paper to transfer patterns, shapes and textures into colourful artworks.

It's all about experimenting, layering, discovering unexpected patterns and seeing how many different ways we can use nature as our creative inspiration.

All materials are provided. Simply bring a hat, sunscreen, water, and something comfortable to sit on if you'd like extra padding. Come open-hearted and ready to create.
