An enjoyable and practical visual exploration of Oxford Botanic Garden designed to suit your own needs whether you are a beginner or have previous experience.
You will have opportunity to draw from natural forms in detail, producing studies, or explore depth through landscape composition.

We will explore the use of different dry materials: pencils, charcoal, pastels and experiment with some watercolour washes.

The course is structured to introduce use of techniques and different media with a focus on development of your work and ideas with an experienced tutor.

Working as a group initially to gain confidence in producing your own range of sketchbook work as well as more finished pieces.

Abingdon and Witney College is subject to Ofsted regulation and is required to work with all its students to make sure they understand Government initiatives around Safeguarding, Prevent and Fundamental British Values. Information on these matters will be shared with you during your course.

You will also be asked to complete monitoring paperwork, which helps us to deliver course content to the highest quality.

Fee information
The course fee includes a £4.00 weekly entry fee to the Garden.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
