Sculptural Spring Blooms Creative Workshop

Step into colour, creativity, and renewal this spring.

Join us at Liberation Art Gallery for a beautifully curated, beginner-friendly workshop where you will create your own oversized sculptural paper bloom inspired by peonies, poppies, and ranunculus.

This is not a craft class, it’s an art experience.

Guided by gentle instruction, by resident artist Ruth Egon, you’ll explore how colour, light, and form can transform simple paper into a dramatic floral sculpture filled with movement and personality.

Over two creative hours, you will design and build one large statement bloom using professional techniques that bring paper to life.

You’ll learn:

• Petal shaping techniques — curling, stretching, and sculpting
• Layering for depth and dimension
• Colour blending with soft pastels or subtle paint washes
• How to build a striking centre and assemble your flower

You’ll leave with a finished sculptural bloom ready to display at home, a lasting symbol of spring and new beginnings.

The workshop begins with a short creative introduction inspired by the theme of Rebirth & Colour Awakening.

You’ll choose a colour palette that reflects your mood, soft dawn tones, fresh meadow greens, or bold sunset hues before bringing your bloom to life.

We’ll close with a mini gallery moment, displaying everyone’s flowers together for photographs and celebration.

• Complete beginners welcome
• Creative souls looking for a mindful experience
• Anyone who loves florals, colour, and making with their hands
• Ages 14+ (under 16s accompanied by an adult)

No experience is necessary. All materials are provided.
