Create a festive flower to gift or decorate your home year after year.

Join local artist Olivia Joy Flowers for a relaxed, creative workshop where you’ll learn how to make a beautiful paper Christmas Rose, also known as Hellebore. This seasonal flower makes a charming festive decoration that you can enjoy for years to come.

Olivia will guide you through the process of creating your own hellebore, sharing techniques for adding delicate vein details to the petals and painting subtle colour variation to bring your flower to life. There’ll be plenty of demonstrations, guidance and time to work at your own pace.

Spend a creative morning surrounded by fellow craft enthusiasts, making something beautiful to take home and enjoy in your own space. All materials and templates are provided, and no previous experience is needed. Some of the details are quite delicate, so a steady hand and a little patience will help you get the most from the workshop.

Recommended age 16+.
