Make your own beautiful bouquet and enjoy an intuitive botanical painting experience
In this workshop, you will learn to respond to your own instincts and sensitivity to flowers; observing and listening to their healing qualities.
Healing from flowers is a language as old as time and already something we respond to naturally. ‘Floriography’ is the name the Victorians gave to learning the language of flowers, but we intuitively know how to understand the qualities of flowers, how their forms and gestures reveal their function, and their use for different kinds of occasions, rituals, personal connection and emotional wellbeing.
Join artist and botanical art therapist Eleanor Darley at Winsford Cottage Hospital on Sunday 7th July, the room will be filled with the beauty of many colourful summer blooms for you to create your own meaningful bouquet and artwork.
No previous experience necessary and all materials will be provided.
