You've got your Holly Trail tickets - now add a Ventana workshop to your weekend and go home with something beautiful you made with your own hands. Open to everyone - Holly Trail visitors, locals, and anyone looking for a brilliant day out in Hawke's Bay.

You'll leave with a flower twice the size of your head and a skill you didn't know you had.

In this hands-on 2.5-hour workshop you'll make a voluminous, oversized crepe paper flower from scratch. A sculptural statement piece that's equal parts art and joy. I’ll guide you through every step: choosing your colour palette, cutting and curling each petal by hand, shaping and assembling your flower, and finishing it ready to hang on your wall the moment you get home.

No experience needed. Just show up ready to make something beautiful.

Colour choices: You've got 8 options to choose from! Browse the colour options in image below and pick your favourite- please enter your number choice (1-8) in booking form.

What's included:

All materials, 180g Italian crepe paper, tools, templates, everything you need.

Your finished flower to take home.

A PDF template emailed after class so you can make more at home.

And a code for 10% off crepe paper from my supplier any time you want to keep making.

What to expect:

This is a meditative, immersive experience. The kind where you arrive a little frazzled and leave feeling like you've done something genuinely good for yourself. It's social, it's satisfying, and the results are genuinely stunning. Most people are amazed by what they make.

Skill level:

Completely beginner friendly. If you've never touched crepe paper in your life, you're in exactly the right place.

What to bring:

Just yourself. Everything else is provided.

Grab a coffee on your way if caffeine keeps you going!
