Experience the joy and cathartic feeling of Tatakizome (the Japanese art of wellness through flower pounding) with Pennie from Hummingpea

Join us in discovering the magic of making the temporary beauty of flowers permanent in our stunning Aldgate studio!

We will learn how to transfer fresh flowers pigments onto fabric to create colourful prints and then embellish our work with freehand embroidered stitches and mantras of our own choosing.

All of this will be done while you sip on bottomless cups of tea of your own blending from an array of fresh flowers, herbs and spices curated for calm and wellness.

No previous experience or skills are required. This is a flexible workshop and all skill levels are welcome.

All materials, tools, and flowers are provided for you to create your artwork.

Our Spring Wellness days are kept small so one-on-one teaching is catered to where you are at with the stitching. There is the option to just do the flower pounding, and no obligation to join the embroidery component if you prefer not to.

You will take home your very own unique and everlasting flower posy artwork, as well as a new obsession as you spot pigments and flowers everywhere this spring.

Please note: We use hammers on chopping boards in this workshop and it does get noisy. If you are sensitive to that kind of noise, you are welcome to bring your own headphones.
