Masterclasses with renowned Botanical artists for Intermediate and Advanced students in Buckinghamshire.

Set amongst the Chiltern Hills, in the village of Great Missenden, the Oldham Hall is a light-filled, spacious Edwardian hall. Recently refurbished, it offers natural light and exceptional amenities. The village itself has a number of lovely cafés, all within a short walk, and plentiful outdoor space for enjoying lunch. Alternatively, there is a small kitchen at the hall.

Each masterclass will run from 10am to 4pm for either two or three days.
