Description

Welcome to the Paper Peony Workshop! This workshop will focus on the beautiful peony, a flower that's perfect for those who want to take their paper flower-making skills to the next level. These gorgeous flowers will brighten up your home and last forever. We will start by making the intricate centre of the flower and then build it up to create both full and less full versions of the flower. To achieve a more realistic look, we will be working with pre-hand-dyed crepe paper and using paint, markers, and pastels to add highlights to the flower. During the workshop, we will make two flowers and explore various techniques on how to layer large flowers with lots of petals. Additionally, I will be teaching you how to create leaves to add more authenticity to your flowers. By the end of the workshop, you will have created two beautiful peonies and will have materials to take home to make a few more. This workshop is perfect for those who have already tried making crepe paper flowers and want to improve their skills. It's also suitable for beginners who have nimble fingers and are eager to learn a new skill. So do join us for an exciting, fun-filled workshop and create stunning paper peonies that will impress your friends and family! Watch out - crêpe paper flower making is highly addictive! It is very relaxing and enormously satisfying when you see your flowers evolve. Our Studio is in a beautiful converted Oast with exposed beams and gentle views across the farmland.  Filled with mouth-watering aromas from The Oast Bakery, where Alison prepares our delicious refreshments, this is the perfect place to escape the pressures of daily life and enjoy some creative time for yourself.  Our aim is to offer the chance to unwind, learn a new skill and meet like minded people whilst enjoying a cuppa and a slice of cake. "We had the most wonderful afternoon with you today. I have enjoyed many different craft sessions over the years but this one has been my favourite so far. The combination of the small intimate class, wonderfully inspirational and attentive teacher (Nicci) and the warmest of welcomes from Alison our "Host at The Oast" who fuelled us with delicious home-made mouthwatering delights, means that we can't wait to return in a few weeks to learn another craft. Thank you SO much everyone" - JULIE & JESS Crepe Paper Flowers - August 2023
