Join printmaker Megan Hunter in collaboration with medical herbalist Julia Behrens for a week immersion in botanical monoprinting, plant knowledge and print practice in a historic Umbrian villa. This immersive botanical monoprinting retreat explores layered colour, plant form, paper and composition to develop a considered body of work informed by direct engagement with the surrounding landscape. Participants gather local flora on guided walks, exploring its medicinal, ecological and cultural histories before translating it into layered prints in the studio. Through colour and texture, you create a collection of botanical prints, part artwork, part visual field journal and record of time in Italy. Includes chef prepared meals, accommodation, materials, excursions, wine and olive oil tastings. Suitable for beginners and experienced artists.
