Mixed Media Flower Art Workshop

Create your own floral-inspired mixed media artwork in Berwick!



3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $65 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Come and spend a creative afternoon in my studio during Open Studios Weekend!
In this fun, hands-on workshop, I’ll introduce you to some of the techniques I’ve been using in my latest collection. You’ll create your own floral-inspired mixed media painting while experimenting with collage, stencils, bubble wrap, gold leaf, and layers of paint and texture.
This is about experimenting, getting creative, and having fun—not creating a perfect copy of my work. You’ll be encouraged to make the piece your own and discover techniques you can continue using in your own art practice.
Limited places
I'm keeping this workshop small, with a maximum of 10 participants, so there's plenty of space to create, experiment, and get individual guidance when you need it.
Come spend three hours in the studio, get a little messy, try something new, and leave with a piece of art you've made yourself.
What We'll Be Doing
Over three relaxed hours, we'll explore:
  • Collage and layering
  • Stencils and mark-making
  • Bubble wrap for texture and pattern
  • Gold leaf
  • Painting techniques for building depth and interest
  • Combining different materials and textures
I'll guide you through the process step-by-step, but there will be plenty of room to experiment and follow your own creative instincts.
What You'll Take Home
You'll leave with:
  • Your own finished 10" x 10" mixed media painting
  • A collection of new techniques to experiment with
  • Plenty of inspiration to take into your own art practice
  • Plus a goodie bag of fun prints and extra bonus treats!
And hopefully a few hours of doing something just for the fun of it!
What you'll get
What's Included
All necessary materials are provided as part of your workshop fee, including:
  • 10" x 10" canvas
  • All paints and art materials
  • Collage materials
  • Stencils
  • Gold leaf
  • All other materials used during the workshop
Plus a goodie bag of fun prints and extra bonus treats!
Knowledge required
Beginners are very welcome. You don't need any previous painting experience or drawing skills—I'll guide you through everything you need to know.
If you've been wanting to try mixed media but don't know where to start, this is a great opportunity to have a play without needing to figure it all out yourself.
If you're already an artist, you'll have the opportunity to experiment with new techniques and add some fresh ideas to your creative toolkit.
What to bring
Curiosity
This is an experimental class where one idea leads to another, helping you develop unique techniques that you can continue to explore long after the workshop.
Old Clothes or Apron
Please wear something you don’t mind getting paint on. Please also wear something appropriate for the weather; we will be semi-outdoors.
Water/Drink
Never underestimate the importance of staying hydrated.
Everything else is taken care of!

Art has been a part of my life since childhood, growing up exploring galleries in Laguna Beach with my mother. I trained as a glass artist in the UK, but after seven years of traveling the world, I transitioned to painting—allowing me to work more intuitively and tell deeper stories.
Teaching is an extension of my passion. I love seeing people connect with their creativity, whether they're picking up a brush for the first time or looking to break through artistic blocks. My workshops focus on self-expression, layering techniques, and embracing imperfection to create meaningful, personal artwork.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve exhibited internationally in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Austria. I’ve taught adults and children, led community art projects, and created murals that bring stories to life. My approach encourages experimentation and confidence, helping students find their artistic voice in a supportive, hands-on environment.
Whether you're here to try something new or deepen your skills, my workshops are about more than just technique—they’re about discovering the joy of creating. Let’s make something meaningful together!
