Creating with Dried Flowers

everlasting flowers workshop

Now that the fresh flower season has nearly come to an end, my thoughts turn to the flowers that I have been drying naturally all season. I love them for their more subtle colours and interesting textures and shapes and I’d like to encourage you to explore their huge artistic potential with me.

Come and enjoy some relaxed time in the barn experimenting and creating arrangements to enjoy throughout the winter months. I will guide you through some of the possibilities and then let you loose on my naturally dried flowers from the 2024 season. Whether it’s a vase arrangement, wreath, chandelier or meadow arrangement that you fancy creating, I’ll be on hand to help you create something beautiful.

As with all my workshops there will be delicious seasonal snacks and plenty of tea and coffee to keep you going.
