“Lovely day. So inspiring to be more creative. Beautiful location and wonderful cake too!” Charlie Join us for a relaxing and creative day at Pitfield Barn Cut Flower Farm, where nature and artistry come together. Under the expert guidance of Wendy Darby, you’ll learn the delicate craft of flower pressing—discovering how to harvest, prepare, and preserve flowers to create beautiful, lasting pieces. Spend the day surrounded by the stunning blooms of the flower farm, selecting your own flowers to press, and working with pre-pressed petals and leaves to craft unique cards, gifts and more. Whether you’re a nature lover, a creative soul, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, this workshop is the perfect way to unwind and be inspired. Plus, you’ll take home your own personal flower press and a collection of pressed flowers to continue your creative journey, as well as leaving with your finished artwork! Subjects covered: • How to select and harvest fresh flowers for pressing • Using different flower press techniques and equipment • How to store your pressed flower collection for later work • Creating and mounting pressed flower designs Tutor: Wendy Darby, is a qualified teacher, designer and crafter. She has had a varied and eclectic career, both nationally and internationally, which she draws upon for her crafting and design inspiration. She is also a qualified Garden Designer, encompassing the phrase ‘inspired by the Garden’ in almost everything she undertakes.

Fused Bowls and Vases with Jazz Dixon

@ Standard Price Immerse yourself in the beauty of summer blooms and use them as your inspiration to create a unique statement glass piece for your home, whether you decide to make a large bowl, platter or vase. You will be welcomed with refreshments before spending the first part of the morning walking around the beautiful flower fields observing and drawing some of the amazing flowers. This part of the day will help develop your ideas for your own glass piece. Time will then be spent creating some simple guided sketches, taking time to observe the shape and colours of the flowers. Jazz will then give you a brief talk and introduction to fused glass and the range of materials available before moving on to designing your own unique statement glass piece. This can be a square platter 30cm x 30cm, a glass bowl 30cm diameter, or a glass vase approximately 25cm tall. Jazz will guide you through the practicalities of the design process and show you how to incorporate the ideas from your sketches. After breaking for lunch (please bring a packed lunch with you), you will create your design using a wide range of coloured accessory glass, all under Jazz’s expert guidance. Your finished design will be taken away and fired. It will be available for collection from West Sussex or East Sussex, or we can arrange for your piece to be posted to you in approx. 3 weeks.
