Service Description

Join Ling Warlow and Meg Lowder (@floragami.paperflower) for three unforgettable days of paper flower crafting in the beautiful North Wales countryside. Hosted by two experienced artists and educators, this series of masterclasses offers a unique blend of artistry, inspiration, and relaxation. Your tutors are passionate about their craft: Meg brings a wealth of creative experience from graphic design to bookbinding and has devoted her recent career to teaching the art of paper flowers; and Ling, a wildflower enthusiast, exhibited artist, and experienced educator whose work has been supported by Arts Council England. Set in a light filled, purpose built craft room at Ruthin Craft Centre, Denbighshire, each day is designed to help you connect with your creativity through nature. Together, we’ll explore a wide range of creative techniques including colouring, cutting and shaping crepe paper, and craft a beautifully detailed, framed display piece. The techniques you learn over the course of the Masterclass will give you transferable skills to apply to your future floral creations. Flexible attendance options allow you to book the full three day masterclass or a two day weekend ticket (Saturday and Sunday). Masterclass programme: Friday 1st May 2026 1pm - 5pm Explore a range of techniques for colouring crepe paper, including natural dyeing techniques. You will create the papers to use in the main project over the following two days, including paper for petals, leaves and bark. Saturday 2nd May 2026 10am - 5pm Dive into the world of paper blossom, using real blossom to create your own templates. Explore a wide selection of different blossom flowers, and create a whole drift of flowers and buds for your beautiful display piece: a framed blossom branch . Sunday 3rd May 2026 10am - 5pm Branches and leaves: today you will explore different leaf types for your blossom branch, learning how to pain the leaves to add stunning details which bring the papers to life.
