Paper Sunflower Workshop - Supporting Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal

Who is this course for?

In this workshop you will create a beautiful Sunflower made entirely from Italian crepe paper. 

Under the guidance of Fiona McKeown, paper artist and florist, you will create a sunflower with leaf and stem.  You will choose from a range of bright Italian crepe and learn techniques including petal shaping, wiring and wrapping.   You will be able to create one flower in the workshop while developing your skill to make more at home!

This is a 3 hour class suitable for all learners but some dexterity would be a benefit.

What does the course cover?

You will learn to work from a template to create 3D flowers, to cup and groom petals and stamens, use winding techniques to create flower heads and wiring to add and shape leaves.

What is included in the fee?

The fee includes tuition, tools, equipment and all the materials required to make up your stunning Sunflower.

We will also be donating £3 of your fee to the Disaster Emergency Committee - Ukranian Humanitarian Appeal
