A special series of tutored classes, run by gallery owner & artist Caelene nee Glen, with local artists as guest attendees.

For beginners, emerging artists, hobbyists, and experienced artists alike.

These tutored sessions are held in an inclusive, peaceful, and fun space where you will be guided to focus on specific steps to create a floral artwork. The schedule allows for you to learn techniques to create floral compositional artworks over 5 classes, with a bonus catch-up / free-practice class added after. We then delve into creating a final artwork over 3 further classes. During the final 3 classes, you will work alongside local artists who offer personalised guidance and advice.
