Wednesday Morning – Craft two beautiful Crepe Paper Poppies with Amanda Cox
There is something quietly satisfying about creating a flower by hand.
In this workshop, we will make a crepe paper poppy - a delicate, sculptural bloom with softly formed petals and a distinctive centre. While the finished flower appears simple, it is made up of many small, thoughtful steps that come together with care.
Working with high-quality Italian crepe paper, you will be guided through each stage - shaping petals, building the centre, and assembling the flower so it feels both natural and expressive. It is a gentle, absorbing process, where attention to detail becomes part of the enjoyment.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners. No experience is needed - just a willingness to slow down and enjoy making.
Traditionally, the poppy is associated with remembrance, rest and quiet reflection. In creating one by hand, we offer a gentle pause — making something delicate that can remain, a small object to keep in the home as a reminder of time, care, and the importance of treating ourselves with the same gentleness we offer to others.
Please bring paper scissors and all other materials are provided.
You will leave with a finished crepe paper flower and the knowledge to make more.
