ABOUT US:-

The WSBI are an enthusiastic group of artists and illustrators ranging from total beginners to accomplished and exhibited artists.  We meet regularly  for painting, drawing and socialising sessions.  National Trust Wales has been very supportive of the WSBI and our continuing close association with Tredegar House  offers the Society the opportunity to reach a wider audience.  

We frequently present workshops by renowned Botanical and Natural History Artists.  This year our presenters include, Billy Showell, Ann Swan, Jackie Isard and Laura Silburn.

OUR LOGO IS THE SNOWDEN LILY.  CRITICALLY ENDANGERED, IT IS THOUGHT THAT FEWER THAN 100 PLANTS ARE IN EXISTENCE.

Until recently Wales, unlike Ireland, Scotland and many English counties did not have a botanical illustrators’ society.  We recognise that recently there has been an increase in popularity of this art form.  If your interests involve botanical and natural history subjects, you may be interested in the work of our Botanical Illustrators’ Society.  Our members are often gardeners, growers and plant lovers.   Some of us come to the Society with an art background, but the majority are members who have a fascination for plants and who delight in learning more about both artistic techniques and botany.  If this sounds like the ideal activity for you, drop us a line to find out when you can join us for an afternoon.
