Abstract Expression Bouquets | $60pp

For lovers of botanicals who have always struggled to capture their movement, colour, and beauty.
Our Abstract Expression Bouquet Workshop invites you into the decadent world of gouache painting, where perfection takes a back seat to bold intuitive brushstrokes. Over two hours, you’ll be introduced to the medium, get a feel for painting loose blooms, before setting out to create your own signature bouquet that is full of life, personality, and unmistakably your own.
With elements of painting and collage, you’ll take home a framed bouquet and the knowledge to continue painting emotive blooms.
As a team building exercise:
Participants will be introduced to the secret language of flowers, discovering the hidden meanings and symbolism behind different blooms before creating a signature bouquet that reflects who they are.
Whether they choose flowers simply because they love them or because they connect with their symbolic meanings, each arrangement becomes a personal expression of identity. At the end of the session, participants will have the opportunity to share the story behind their bouquet, opening the door to meaningful conversations about personality, values, and perspective.

Please Note: While glass etching is an incredibly satisfying craft, it does come with an element of unpredictability that we affectionately call the ‘Pancake Theory’ (that at least one of them won’t turn out).This is a natural part of the creative process, and with glass etching it's common for participants to use a couple of pieces to refine their technique. As a guide, most people finish the workshop with around four glasses they're thrilled with, while the remaining pieces often serve as valuable practice or experimentation.
Every attempt builds confidence, but if you were planning a large qty to be made (say for instance to become custom event glassware) some shrinkage needs to be considered. Feel free to chat with us further if you are concerned.
