All materials will be provided in the session including high quality watercolour paper to experiment on - however, if you have paints you wish to use you are welcome to bring them along as well! You will leave this session with practical technique guides and, hopefully, the passion to get journaling or keep painting! We recommend this session if you want to get better at painting figuratively - i.e. painting nature, landscapes, things, but also if you are needing help getting good results in your art journal which means abstract painting, or capturing textures as well!
The session will run for 2 hours. If you wish to bring a morning/afternoon tea snack please feel free to do so! For outdoor sessions please also bring some water along. (Indoor sessions will have drinking water available on site.)
Where am I going and how to get to the workshop?! - Outdoor Session
Adelaide Botanic Gardens
Adelaide Botanic Gardens Meeting point - Main Gate (North Terrace entrance)
There is paid car parking next to the National Wine Centre of Australia or further along Plane Tree Drive if required. The main entrance meeting point is very close to the Botanic Tram stop and public transport bus routes. If you wish to park at the back of the Botanic Gardens let us know and you can get an update of where to meet us inside the botanic gardens.
We will walk a short distance inside the botanic gardens to pick a suitable spot for our session - we will be within close walking distance of a public toilet (likely Public Toilet 3 on this map). Please bring along a cushion or small picnic rug etc. if you wish to make the workshop more comfortable - depending on the group size these may not be able to be supplied by the artist to all participants. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens
Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens - Meeting Place - Lower Car Park (In front of the Public Toilets building)
There will likely be a parking fee for this carpark which supports the botanic garden. Please be mindful that the Upper Car Park is a considerable distance away and we don’t recommend trying to walk to meet us from there.

Where am I going and how to get to the workshop?! - Indoor Session
The Rundle Collective Studios is located in Gawler Place near Rundle Mall. We have a glass door on the ground floor located next to the National Pharmacies and Paradigm Zone Arcade (opposite Daiso). At the front door you will need to be shown into the building by the artist - they will be there to show you in but also don’t hesitate to contact them when you arrive via phone or text on 0459 946 479.
There is some street parking available but most is timed or paid. If you are lucky depending on the time you may have luck on Pirie or Flinders Street but this may be a bit of a walk for some attendees. We would recommend looking at the pre-booked undercover parking options near Rundle Mall for the best paid parking rate, or consider parking close to the city and using public transport to access the city if cost is a concern. The studio building is fully wheelchair accessible as we have an internal lift. We are on Level 2 and 3 of the building and you will need to have assistance from our team to access the building on the day. Don't hesitate to use our contact number provided if you have any difficulties. Generally, the space is fairly quiet and sensory friendly - if you have any accessibility considerations you would like to discuss please feel free to contact us so we can ensure the event is adjusted accordingly.
The Event Spaces
There are two event spaces at the Rundle Collective - the smaller space on Level 2 and the larger space on Level 3. We are usually using the larger space on Level 3 unless it is a private booking. Both are able to be made private by shutting the door to the main artist studios. We have accessible bathrooms on both levels. We can also access the kitchen on level 2 as needed.
