Botanical Painting Workshop with Nay Bellamy
DATE: 10 October 2026, 10am-1pm
VENUE: Pierrepont Farm, Frensham, Farnham
Join both Flourish and Nay Bellamy for a creative morning celebrating flowers and art at Nay’s Frensham studio.
To begin, Jess, will bring the beauty of the season into the studio with a gentle introduction to creating a vase arrangement, before guests settle down to paint. The tables will be adorned with little bud vases filled with seasonal flowers, providing inspiration to look at, observe and paint throughout the morning. From fresh flowers to paint palettes, and Nay’s beautiful artwork, every detail has been considered to make this a truly immersive and inspiring Flourish experience.
-
Our very own in-house florist, Jess, will begin with a short tutorial of how to construct a floral vase and share her knowledge of the flowers being used, offering a deeper understanding of form, movement and structure. Guests can then make an informed choice to select a range for their own painting.
Nay will then guide guests through her approach to painting with acrylic, from building colour and composition to adding those finer details that bring a piece to life. Artist boards will be prepped with Nay’s signature striped patterns, so that you can focus on learning the fundamentals of painting from still life.
Each guest will leave with their own finished painting on a beautifully striped framed canvas, along with the confidence to continue painting at home.
All materials are provided, so guests can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy the process.
