creative, social workshops.
celebrate. get social.
Seasonally focused, creative workshops where you will leave with something beautiful you have produced, some new skills and plenty of laughs from your day!
As an experienced art teacher, artist and flower grower, running workshops which link seasonality and creativity is my forte.
Book into an available workshop (be quick!) or get in touch to chat about a class tailored to your group.
Workshops can be hosted in my studio in Paroa or I am able to come to you. Workshop details are flexible including content, group sizes, ages and of course, the option of canapes and wine!
Check out some options below.

Festive Wreath Making.
This is a great workplace social event to get the festive spirit flowing or a fun anytime class for a bunch of friends.
Learn to make a beautifully textural, fully compostable wreath (just remove the ribbon before composting!) A range of foliage, dried florals and grapevine wreath bases, grown here in Paroa, are provided as well as plenty of tips and encouragement along the way. Canapés and a glass of wine are also high on the recommended, optional list for this customisable workshop.

Make a Flower Crown.
A fun, creative idea for a Hen’s party, children’s birthday party or perfectly random Sunday!
Depending on the season, we will be able to use dried or fresh flowers to make the flower crowns. I will chat with you prior to the day to plan an aesthetic which can be somewhere on the scale between ‘whimsical garden fairy’ and bold and colourful ‘Mexican Señorita’.
Crowns are finished with an adjustable length of ribbon and can be dried and hung as a sculptural piece of art on your kids’ bedroom wall (as mine have done!).

Paint and Sip.
A classic, social, entertaining session of painting and ‘hydrating’.
Learn some tips about drawing and painting from observation, usually focusing on freshly arranged flowers from the field. Leave feeling like a real artist, finished artwork in hand to hang up in pride of place at home.
A (less messy!), equally lovely iteration of this class is ‘Pastels and Prosecco’ (self-explanatory content, I think!).
And another fun twist is the (also paint free) ‘Drink and Draw’ where you will take home tips and tricks as well as a wee sketch pad and drawing pencil to carry on your new hobby in your own time!

Sculptural Wall Hanging.
Build your own beautiful, textural sculpture to hang on the wall.
Using a base made from chicken wire or grapevine with everlasting, dried ingredients (locally grown, naturally dried) threaded in and secured.
Ribbon is available to finish the cloud form and wreath-like sculptures.
Canapes and glass of wine are optional extras and, as always, this workshop is customisable to suit your group.
