Currently these are available at the McHattie Building at Saughton Park Gardens in Edinburgh (Tuesday and Wednesday) and at the Denny Library near Falkirk (Thursday).  A café and free parking facilities are available at both venues.

Both operate on a three term a year basis of between 11 and 13 weeks.  Fees are dependant upon membership status.  “Full Members” and “Students” who are on a recognised full time botanical painting course pay less than a “Friend”.

Bookings may be made for an entire term or only certain days in that term.  Places are limited and there is no guarantee that you will be able to obtain a place on the day/place you want.

Please note that Painting Days are not teaching sessions.  There is a library atmosphere where participants work quietly on their own projects.  Everyone gets together around midday for a quick lunch and a chat.  Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided.
