Create your own elegant bouquet of cosmos flowers using premium Italian crepe paper. Maker Natalia Manczak will teach you to create two to three flowers to take home, each one a delicate botanical piece made from ordinary materials.  

Date: Thursday 16 October 2025
Time: 14:00 – 16:00 

Price: £50

Natalia will guide you through the process, beginning with cutting petal shapes using templates, before moving on to building the inner structure of the flower. You will then attach the petals, followed by the leaves to bring the design to life. 

Using only glue, scissors, wire, and paper, Natalia will show how simple materials can be transformed into intricate and beautiful sculptures. No prior experience is needed. 

By the end of the session, you will have your own finished flowers and the knowledge to continue making from home. 

All tools and materials will be provided. Spaces are limited so it is recommended to book in advance. 

Natalia creates bespoke installations, artworks, botanical sculptures, and eco-friendly chandeliers known as Pająki. Deeply influenced by her Polish heritage and the Scottish landscape, her work combines paper craft and nature with a contemporary twist.
