Flower to Form: a SPRING gathering. A slow, creative morning working with botanicals in a double workshop. You’ll leave with a beautiful bas-relief wall hanging and a lasting living botanical arrangement. Join floral artist, Lyndsay Wade and Jesmonite casting artist, Charlotte Wolfe, for an intimate, hands-on double workshop.

What you will experience:

• Step-by-step guidance through the botanical Jesmonite casting process, making a mould first from clay, before preserving the delicate details of spring flowers and foliage in eco-resin.
• A demonstration and hands-on guidance in creating a beautiful seasonal bouquet.
• Working with locally grown seasonal botanicals.
• Time and space to experiment, create, and enjoy the process.
• A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a small group.

What you will take home:

• Spring bas-relief casting: Using plants, you’ll create a botanical cast in Jesmonite, capturing delicate textures and forms. The result is a sculptural piece that preserves the fleeting beauty of winter in a lasting, tactile form. Your piece can be hung with a botanical dyed silk ribbon. Jesmonite is a water-based, solvent-free casting material with a smooth, stone-like finish. Lightweight yet durable, it is well suited to detailed botanical work.
• A living spring floral arrangement: Using seasonal flowers from our flower field and guided by Lyndsay, you will create a naturalistic spring bouquet. We will focus on a technique that you can use again and again at home to arrange flowers for a vase perhaps from your own garden.
• A deeper appreciation for working creatively with nature.
• A calm, inspired feeling that stays with you beyond the day.

No experience needed. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners. Everything is guided gently and at a relaxed pace. You don’t need to consider yourself “creative” to enjoy this day.

What’s included:

• All materials and tools
• Gentle and friendly expert guidance from the two of us
• Fresh flowers and foliage for casting
• Seasonal flowers for your bouquet
• Tea, coffee, and light refreshments
• Freshly basked pastry or cake from the Imma bakery.

Small group experience. Places are limited to keep the workshop intimate and supportive. Perfect to attend alone or with a friend or family member.

Please bring an apron (or wear old clothes). This is a nourishing, mindful creative experience designed to help you slow down, connect with nature, and make something truly special.

Booking closes at midnight on 10th April so we can gather everything we need for the workshop. The course will run with 6+ attendees.
