Join My Crafternoons for a feel-good Sunday arvo workshop at the beautiful Warrnambool Community Garden, making mixed-media floral artworks!
This gentle, joy-filled art session is inspired by our stunning surroundings and designed to bring a little whimsy into your weekend.
✍️ Learn beginner-friendly painting and drawing techniques using watercolours, fineliners, paint pens and coloured pencils to create cute floral artworks on lovely thick card
🌸 Enjoy a jaunt around the sensory garden to pick a few flowers and foliage to inspire or include in your artwork
🌿 Punch holes to thread blooms through for ephemeral gorgeousness, perfect for collecting beauty on nature walks
🌼 Create an abundance of cut-out blooms to collage onto your artwork when it’s not full of fresh flowers, or so you can frame it to last a lifetime
☕ Help yourself to unlimited tea, coffee, chai and hot chocolate, plus cold cordials and iced tea
🌱 End the day with a guided walk through gorgeous veggie gardens and flower patches, meet the chickens and discover art throughout this hidden gem!
Our mixed-media pieces are easy-peasy. You’ll have lots of guidance but can also just paint, drink and doodle ‘til your heart’s content, using our abundance of materials to experiment as you enjoy great tunes, chats and company.
If the weather is glorious we’ll take over the sunny deck, or we can shelter inside near the kettle, both spaces are accessible and have lovely views of the gardens.
This Crafternoon is about making time to slow down, smell the flowers and let yourself play amidst a bunch of local legends.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, happier and creatively refreshed… maybe a little proud of yourself with a new friend or two!
Sounds ideal - book me in!
🎟️ Tickets are $65, including all tools, materials & tuition for 2 hours of art-making, plus unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. 💕 Come on your own and meet new people, or bring someone you love and use it as a chance to catch up — book for two and save $10, making tickets just $60 each!
