Test Garden - Workshop - Paper Flowers with Beci Orpin

Our monthly open day held in the Test Garden, designed for garden and plant lovers.

Each month, we hold a small in-conversation event focused on gardening and garden design, followed by a hands-on workshop.

On Saturday 14 March, following talks in the garden, join acclaimed illustrator and artist Beci Orpin to create paper flowers inspired by the foliage and flowers in the Test Garden. Using different papers, watercolours and a range of materials, participants will explore simple techniques to add colour, texture and dimension, and experiment with layering, shaping and construction to transform flat paper into sculptural botanical forms.

• These events are held outdoors in the Test Garden. Please bring a hat and water bottle.

• The Test Garden is located next to the Fed Square Car Park (Wilson Parking) on the Russell Street Extension
