MORE ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The art of paper flower making is a wonderfully mindful activity. It’s a slow craft, requiring
some patience and attention to detail, and once you are hooked you will never look at a
flower the same way again. This beginners craft will be followed by a series of workshops
expanding on the many different techniques and looking at more complex flowers.

Formercourse participants say:
“Wonderful artist running workshops constructing paper flowers. Ling is an incredible artist and fantastic tutor,
generous with her expertise and time. Workshops are always small groups and provide lots of fun as well as beautiful
completed flowers.” (K.Rice 2022)
