Who's It For

This special Mother’s Day experience is for mums who’d love a few relaxed hours — slowing down, enjoying flowers, and doing something creative just for the joy of it.

No art experience needed — just come along, have a go, relax, and enjoy the moment. 🌸

What You'll paint

You’ll be painting florals inspired by the wildflower bouquet you create — capturing the shapes, colours and beauty of the flowers in your own way.
I’ll guide you through simple leaf and petal techniques, layering your piece step-by-step in a calm, achievable way so you can simply relax and enjoy the process. 🌸

What To Bring

All art materials are provided and ready to go, with aprons available too (just avoid your very best clothes, just in case).
Simply bring an open mind — this session is about relaxing, creating, and enjoying the moment, not perfection.
