You've got your Holly Trail tickets - now add a Ventana workshop to your weekend and go home with something beautiful you made with your own hands. Open to everyone - Holly Trail visitors, locals, and anyone looking for a brilliant day out in Hawke's Bay.

Hands-on learning to create your very own voluminous, oversized crepé paper rose, a sculptural statement piece that’s equal parts art and joy.

You’ll be guided through every step of the process from choosing the perfect colour palette to cutting, curling, shaping, and assembling each petal by hand. It’s a rewarding craft that requires patience, but with the right techniques (and a few of my favourite tricks!), you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

Colour choices: Browse the colour options in images below and pick your favourite- please enter your number choice (one number) in booking form.

What's included:
All materials, 180g Italian crepe paper, tools, templates, everything you need.
Your finished flower to take home.
And a code for 10% off crepe paper from my supplier any time you want to keep making.

What to expect:
This is a meditative, immersive experience. The kind where you arrive a little frazzled and leave feeling like you've done something genuinely good for yourself. It's social, it's satisfying, and the results are genuinely stunning. Most people are amazed by what they make.

Skill level:
Completely beginner friendly. If you've never touched crepe paper in your life, you're in exactly the right place.

What to bring:
Just yourself. Everything else is provided.
Grab a coffee on your way if caffeine keeps you going!

Sessions:
Thursday 12th 2-430pm
Thursday 12th 6-830pm
