HERBARIUM – ILUSTRATION WORKSHOP
A very different and very enriching activity. This is what we provide in this visit and workshop on how to create your herbarium using an illustration technique of your choice.
In the company of Rute Porto, owner of Be Aromatic, you will visit and learn about the plants produced on the farm, identify them and learn how to harvest them. Based on this collection, you will gain knowledge to start a herbarium. Afterwards, with the experienced Margarida Carreira* you will have the opportunity to make a graphic record of the plants you collected, using a technique of your choice. The participant will take with him/her a started herbarium and the knowledge to develop it and add to it in the future.
TECHNIQUES:
Cyanotype
Watercolor
Stamping
Basic necessary materials will be provided, such as paper, paints, pencils and brushes, however participants may bring their own materials if they feel more comfortable.

Carla Andrade –
Participei recentemente do ‘Herbarium Workshop de Ilustração com Visita’ e foi uma experiência verdadeiramente enriquecedora. A combinação de uma visita guiada ao herbário com sessões práticas de ilustração botânica proporcionou uma compreensão profunda da flora local e das técnicas artísticas. Os formadores demonstraram vasto conhecimento e paixão pelo tema, tornando a aprendizagem envolvente e acessível, mesmo para iniciantes. Recomendo este workshop a todos que desejam explorar a interseção entre arte e botânica de forma prática e inspiradora.
