Carve your favourite cut flower with your favourite company.
Bespoke wax carving workshop tailored to you. Decide your own theme and choose a date that suits your celebrations.
Private workshops are possible for a minimum of two people at my Stirchley garden studio or a minimum of three people in your own surroundings.
Please get in touch to discuss a flower theme, location and date.

The workshop is 2.5 hours long and it is most straightforward if attendees carve the same flower. Please get in touch if you have a particular flower in mind that's not listed.
After carving your wax sculpture in the workshop, it will be cast into your choice of brass or silver in the Jewellery Quarter.
The after process takes approximately 4 weeks. Collect your flower in person or have it posted to you.

Carved By You - Finished By Me
After you have carved your flower in wax, it is cast into your choice of brass or silver in the Jewellery Quarter.
I will then add a short, medium or long stem to make it ornamental or turn it in to a brooch, ring, or pendant.

You set the theme, the place and the time.
