A relaxing and replenishing floral arrangement and painting class from Artisan Florist Ailsa Vigor (Lily Loves Flora) and Artist Jess Williams (Made By Jess).

Spend a blissful two hours with us in a small intimate workshop arranging stunning autumn blooms and interpreting them in paint.

Artisan Florist Alisa will personally guide you through her process of creating bespoke floral arrangements. She will work with you to build confidence, skills and an understanding of composition and colour palette in floral design. You will create your own beautiful arrangements to take home with you.

Artist and Textile Designer Jess will then lead you in a creative, calm and playful painting class. She’ll guide you through simple tried and tested methods of painting blooms and foliage and together you will interpret your stunning floral creations in gouache paint and ink.

With a strong emphasis on self compassion we will work together to help you unlock all your wonderful creative potential. Making something beautiful with your hands is incredibly soothing; it’s a chance to have some real ‘me’ time, to connect hands and heart, to feel refreshed and to learn something new.

Our venue is the The Basement Snug in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. It is a beautifully designed calm and tranquil space tucked away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Suitable for everyone from absolute beginners to experienced creatives, we are inclusive and welcoming to all.

All the materials and refreshments will be provided. We suggest you bring an apron or a painting shirt to protect your clothing.
