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
Nothing — all materials are provided.
Aprons are supplied (please avoid your fanciest outfit, just in case).
