Workshops & Classes

Hidden Messages in Nature: A Love Parks Creative Workshop

This workshop explores Scarborough’s beautiful South Cliff Gardens through a mix of observation and simple making, as part of Love Parks Week. Participants begin with a short walk, noticing colour, shape, and detail in the surrounding space, before creating paper flowers inspired by what they have seen. The session also introduces the idea that flowers can carry meaning, giving people a way to connect what they make with a feeling or idea. Participants can take inspiration from traditional flowers such as mignonette, stock, lupin, pink, pansy, and alyssum—plants that have long been part of Scarborough’s gardens—or create their own designs using colour and shape to express a feeling, memory, or message. The workshop also draws on European paper flower-making traditions, including Polish decorative styles, where paper is shaped, layered, and structured to create more detailed and expressive forms. Participants can keep their designs simple or develop more intricate pieces, depending on their interest and confidence. This workshop is most suitable for adults and older children, 12+ (all under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult). Booking essential, get your free place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hidden-messages-in-nature-a-love-parks-creative-workshop-tickets-1988824720276
