This workshop embraces the art of conscious creation and the element of negative space, (the ‘invisible energy’ that gives life to form).
Working with slow intent and gentle reverence to natural elements, you will mindfully create two harmonious compositions, first with flowers and then with paint. You’re invited to slow down, take a meditative breath and explore your unique creativity through art.
You will walk away with:
An ‘Ikebana’ style floral arrangement.
An 60 x 50cm abstract painting.
Workshop includes:
A glass of prosecco & gourmet cheese platter
A gorgeous concrete vessel and dried florals to create your arrangement.
Vintage pruning shears
All art materials.

FAQS:
What can I bring to the event?
An apron, or clothes that can afford to get paint on them
Not essential – but if you have an embossing heater that would be to your benefit. I do have some, but they are a handy tool if you paint regularly – you can purchase online here for $30 or if you prefer – a simple hairdryer will do the trick.
