In 2023, I was able to commence a series of free workshops in my local community to introduce people to the world of floral art – specifically to give them an opportunity to be creative in a safe, happy, accessible environment.
Supported by a business prepared to offer a no cost venue for weekly workshops, I planned a 20 week trial of this exercise to assess both interest and viability.
From the first announcement, there has been a backbone of those choosing to attend every week for 20 weeks, whilst others have selected sessions that fit in to their work schedules/rosters and other commitments. The age range of those attending is mid 30s to 85 with a geographic pull of a 45 kilometer radius.

For the travelling workshops, I can carry out 4 workshops per month – 2 on a Friday and 2 on the following day (Saturday). This would allow for attendees to plan around their interests as well as make use of the efficiency of logistics for educators and resources.
Let me know if you have some interest in your area so we can plan ahead!
