Paper Flower Making with Tiffanie Turner
13-21 September 2022
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting artist Tiffanie Turner’s first-ever paper flower making workshop in the UK from 13-21 September 2022 at Goodnestone Park in Kent. If you would like to join us for a week of creativity, interesting excursions, delicious food and luxurious accommodation in a historic stately home, we invite you to complete the form below to register your interest. We will send you full details of the 8-night retreat, including the projects Tiffanie will teach as well as a sample itinerary in the autumn of 2021 when you will have the chance to secure your place.
During the retreat at Goodnestone Tiffanie will show you how to make a variety of beautiful, lifelike botanicals using crepe papers. Employing a range of techniques including colouring and staining you’ll learn the skills you need to capture the natural beauty of flowers throughout their complete lifecycle from the unfurling of a new bud to a fading bloom.
As a self-taught paper flower artist, Tiffanie has learned all the tricks of the trade and she will share these with you in her classes. She will show you tips and shortcuts for stretching, folding and crumpling paper to form petals as well as techniques to give your flower centres depth of colour. You’ll also learn to master leaves, stems, stamens and other details for added realism. You’ll leave at the end of the retreat with a beautiful selection of completed flowers and the confidence and skills to recreate your own natural looking specimens at home.
Your accommodation for the week is at Goodnestone Park, the former home of Jane Austen’s brother Edward. This beautiful house dating from 1704 is surrounded by Goodnestone Park’s exceptionally beautiful 15-acre gardens which are known for their ancient woodland, parterre gardens and classical English planting. Described as one of the top three gardens in Kent, we will have exclusive access to the gardens during our stay including the recently restored Serpentine Walk, a favourite of Jane Austen. The retreat will include a number of excursions to a nearby moated castle and the world-renowned gardens at Sissinghurst Castle created in the 1930s by poet and author Vita Sackville-West.
