What You'll paint

You’ll be painting a special floral design created just for this high tea session — inspired by my signature style, but different from the March barn workshops.
I’ll guide you through simple leaf and petal techniques, layering your piece step-by-step in a calm, achievable way so there’s plenty of space to 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.
