Flower Pounding and Embroidery Class

Pound and transfer fresh flowers onto fabric to create your own artwork!



3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests    

  $90 (Afterpay available)

Experience the joy and cathartic feeling of flower pounding with Pennie from Hummingpea in the beautiful Botanista workshop in Port Noarlunga.
Join us for an afternoon of discovering the magic and wonder of flowers! We will learn how to transfer fresh flowers onto fabric using a hammer to create colourful prints and then embellish our work with freehand embroidered stitches.
No previous experience or skills are required. This is a flexible workshop and all skill levels are welcome. All materials, tools, and flowers are provided for you to create your artwork.
Our Botanista classes are also kept small so one-on-one teaching is catered to where you are at with the stitching. There is the option to just do the flower pounding, and no obligation to join the embroidery component if you prefer not to.
By the end of the class, you will take home your very own unique and everlasting flower posy artwork, as well as a new obsession, and an activity to keep your hands busy!
Please note: We use hammers on chopping boards in this workshop and it does get noisy. If you are sensitive to that kind of noise, you are welcome to bring your own headphones.

  • 5/5 from Mary Lang, attended Aug 2026: What a fun way to spend time with my sister. We both really enjoyed ourselves and learned some new skills.
  • 5/5 from Sue Thornton, attended Aug 2026: Well, where to start. What a fabulous workshop. Creative and very engaging tutor. What great fun we had, whilst learning how to recognise flowers that can be hammered to make our pieces and then to embroider them. Would recommend this w/shop to anyone with a love of flowers and simple embroidery to finish your piece. Very relaxing environment to sit and play
  • 5/5 from Beth Gruessing, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed the class. Pennie was an excellent teacher. Coming to the class I did not know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Instructions were easy to follow. I have found a new like for attempting embroidery. Love the freelance of it and creativity.
  • 5/5 from Tyna Lachowicz, attended Feb 2026: Flower Pounding class Penny, our teacher was awesome. She explained the process clearly, was patient, and was so positive with comments and advice to her students. I loved the class and would definitely go again.
  • 5/5 from Kylie Maslen, attended Sep 2025: I had such a wonderful time at this class. Pennie was a lovely and patient teacher who encouraged us throughout. The venue manager did a lot to accommodate my access needs and was really kind in her communications. I’ll definitely look out for other classes by this teacher and at this venue again.
  • 5/5 from Lillian van Brussrl, attended Sep 2025: Had the best time. Teacher was fab, relaxed, kind and generous with time and resources. Space was beautiful, experience was great.
  • 5/5 from Kat Lane, attended Sep 2025: Penny is lovely down to earth person. I had lots of fun smashing the flowers and watching them come out different colours. Lots and lots of flowers to try. You can do as many as you want. Had fun Thanks So Much
  • 5/5 from Jody Holdback, attended Sep 2025: I was not sure what to expect from this class, but it was wonderful. The materials and instruction were great. While I did not get into the embroidery, because I was having too much fun pounding my flowers, I came home with some great finished work. It was fascinating to see what colour was going to come from the flower, as it was not always the same colour as the flower. Then when it dried sometimes it changed colour again. I would come back to do this class again; it was an enjoyable afternoon doing something new.
  • 5/5 from Sue Gray, attended Sep 2025: A great workshop. Penny was very generous with her ideas and materials to use in the class and I was able to bring home some beautiful fabric to use in my projects. We learned how to use flowers to make our own fabric designs as well as embroidery. I thought the class was very good value for money and great fun. Thanks Penny and Botanista!
