Rhododendron Festival

Gardeners and artists have a lot in common approaching the colour, texture and composition of their creations. Spend time on our veranda-turned-studio, designing the garden of your dreams as an abstracted colourful collage and painting. Instructor Lor Schneider introduces basic composition elements for creating aerial view garden maps and plans using paper cut-outs, oil pastel and colour washes.
