A SUMMARY
Join us for a relaxed and inspiring half-day retreat by the sea, combining seasonal floristry and loose floral watercolour painting in a beautiful seafront setting. Working with flowers and watercolour can be such a calming and mindful process - a chance to slow down, notice colour, texture and movement, and spend a few hours creating purely for enjoyment. This retreat is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, whether you come alone, with a friend, or simply want to carve out some creative time for yourself by the sea. As you arrange your flowers, you’ll explore natural shapes, layers and seasonal colour palettes before translating them into loose expressive watercolour. Rather than focusing on perfection, the painting session encourages you to enjoy the process, experiment freely and build confidence with gentle guidance throughout. You’ll leave with: Your own seasonal floral arrangement in a vase A framed loose floral watercolour painting New creative skills and inspiration A small mindfulness-inspired goody bag Tickets are non-refundable. Limited spaces available.
