Discover the intricate art of paper flower making with Nicola De Rosbo-Davies, also known as Pizzly Pages.
Inspired by the paper iris featured in Nicola’s rabbit sculpture in the Bloom exhibition, this hands-on workshop will guide you through transforming premium Italian crepe paper into a beautifully detailed iris.
Learn how to shape petals, build the flower around a wire stem, add colour and delicate botanical details, and finish your iris using specialist flower-making techniques. You will also have tissue paper available to wrap your finished flower as a bouquet, ready to take home or give to someone special.
All materials are provided, including high-quality Cartotecnica Rossi Italian crepe paper, wire, flower-making tape, PanPastels, glue guns and tissue paper.
Suitable for adults and participants aged 12+. No previous paper craft or flower-making experience is required.
