Please join Catherine at Full Bloom Farm on beautiful Lummi Island, September 14th & 15th, for a two-day, hands-on Botanical Art workshop.

Presentations by Various Botanical Artists, hosted by Julia Trickey (via Zoom)
At the start of 2021 Julia Trickey began hosting talks by fellow botanical artists (via Zoom) as a way of supporting them through the Pandemic, as well as bringing their work and enthusiasm for botanical art to a wider audience. The talks have focused on a range of topics such as painting techniques, ongoing projects, sketchbook work and commercial illustration. These talks have proved popular so Julia will continue to host them in 2022.
There is a charge for the webinars, however, the first session of the New Year (January 6th, 2022), which focuses on the best bits of the 2021 talks, will be free in order to give those new to this series a chance to get a feel for what they are like. You can watch the webinars live or have access to a recording for a couple of days or so afterwards, therefore time zones are not an issue.
