Painting Rosemary on Linen

A quiet, hands-on experience of painting, observation, and time spent with plants.

Join textile artist Cleidi Hearn, founder of Botanica Brasilis, for a calm botanical workshop centred on slow looking and painting from nature.

Together, we will observe fresh rosemary — its rhythm, colour and structure — and translate this attentive observation into painting on natural linen. The workshop is guided, relaxed, and designed to help participants slow down and enjoy the simple act of working with plants.

No previous painting experience is needed. The emphasis is not on perfection, but on attention and quiet enjoyment.

Each participant will paint and take home a hand-painted 100% linen tote bag, created during the workshop as a lasting memory of the experience.
