31 May marks World Parrot Day — a day to celebrate the beauty, intelligence and vulnerability of parrots around the world, and to reflect on how we can better understand and protect them.

We are delighted to introduce several wonderful new tutors joining the NatureArt Lab teaching team next year. Each brings a wealth of expertise, fresh ideas, and a shared passion for creativity and the natural world.

They’ve put together an exciting program of courses and workshops for 2025—offering new skills, new perspectives, and plenty of inspiration for artists of all levels. We can’t wait for you to meet them and explore what’s ahead!

Thank you for being part of our NatureArt Lab community!

As the year draws to a close, we want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you to our valued clients, subscribers, members, tutors, volunteers, and supporters. It’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of another remarkable year — one filled with inspiring classes, creative breakthroughs, meaningful connections, and many moments of quiet wonder in nature.

Everything we do at NatureArt Lab is about helping people connect with nature in thoughtful, creative, and accessible ways — and that simply wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for being part of something very special.
