SUMMARY:Winter Wonders: A Photography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Winter is the time of year where a lot of photographers put their cameras in the closet until spring – however\, the winter landscape can offer incredible opportunities to sharpen your skills! \nIn winter\, color won’t be much of an option. Therefore\, you’ll have to sharpen your knowledge of composition\, lighting\, shape\, shadow\, pattern and texture. You can experiment with black and white imagery as well! \nThis class will start out with an introductory presentation in the classroom on the elements mentioned above\, followed by a visit to the Garden for practical skills building. Instructor Lynda Richardson will demonstrate in the Garden first. Then\, she will be available to assist as you explore and put your new knowledge to work. \nWe will have two shooting times\, one before lunch and one after. After that\, we will go back to the classroom and share some of our best photographs with the class in an open critique. This is always a fun exercise where everyone learns something\, including the instructor! \nIf you want a winter photography challenge\, consider signing up for the Winter Wonders class! \nFees: Member $78\, Non-Member $94 \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners. If you would like to request an accommodation to support your participation in an adult learning opportunity at the Garden\, please contact meganc@lewisginter.org or call 804-262-9887 x320 and we will make our best effort to help.

SUMMARY:Illustrating Pollinators for Botanical Art: Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:THIS CLASS IS CANCELLED. \nA Three-Day Intensive Workshop on the Form and Function of Butterflies \nThis revised workshop offers a focused\, graphite-only exploration of butterfly anatomy\, movement\, and ecological role. Designed for botanical artists who want to deepen their connection to nature\, it offers the best of both worlds: time outdoors observing butterflies in their natural environment\, paired with indoor studio time to reflect\, refine\, and develop your drawings. \nYou’ll engage in specimen pinning\, field sketching\, and close study of how leg structures\, wing shapes\, and flight patterns reveal each butterfly’s unique function and behavior. Rather than producing a polished\, portfolio-ready piece\, you’ll create a richly layered study page—a visual record of labeled sketches and notes that blends scientific observation with creative interpretation. This page will serve as a foundation for future botanical drawings. \nSet within a rich\, inquiry-based environment\, the class encourages exploration\, experimentation\, and mark-making—reminding us that drawings are just marks on paper\, and they emerge line by line. You’ll learn to attune to and trust your own eyes—rather than rely on templates or photo references—by slowing down and truly seeing the structure\, function\, and nuance of your subject. \nThis workshop isn’t just about drawing; it’s about cultivating presence\, reverence\, and confidence through observation. Through close attention and guided curiosity\, you’ll be invited to wonder\, discover\, and connect with fellow artists who are inspired by the natural world—and who simply love to draw\, draw\, draw. \n See class supply list below. \n\nFee: Member $240\, Non-Member $288 \nAll programs are subject to change.
