This May, all budding artists and non-scientists are invited to come along and participate in a one-day course at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) which will merge the fields of art and science.

Entitled '', this interactive course will be led by Dr Tanya Scharaschkin of the School of Earth, Environmental and Biological Sciences and will consist of lots of hands-on activities and time for observation and exploration.

It will be held at the QUT Gardens Point campus on Sunday 4 May 2014, from 9am to 4.30pm and offer participants non-technical and simple explanations of plant cells, tissues and organs.

This course will particularly be of interest to those in the field of art and design, especially those who seek artistic inspiration from plants. Botanical artists and illustrators will also find this course relevant to their work.

During the course of the day, participants will have the opportunity to make their own slides, use stains and learn some basic techniques with which to examine plants at a finer level.

Specimens relevant to understanding the structure of Australian plants and of relevance to Australian ecosystems and agriculture will be utilised wherever possible.

If you are interested in attending this course, please register your interest before Thursday 24 April 2014; to register, please click here .

The fee is $150; discounts are available for QUT staff, students & alumni.

Participants should bring along their own snacks & lunch on the day.
