Join artist printmaker Sisetta Zappone for an inspiring series of evening classes exploring botanical and floral art through a variety of techniques, Tuesdays in June.
We are super proud to bring you a new course in art and printmaking with master printmaker Sisetta Zappone. In this five-session course, Sisetta will expertly guide you through different ways in which you can express your creative voice in botanical artworking - from observation and drawing, through to painting and printmaking, you will discover new ways of looking at the world in an open, friendly and inclusive environment suited to people of all levels.
Hosted at the wonderful Malavenda Café Bistro in Dalston, you will learn and create in a small and intimate group, ensuring that Sisetta can teach and guide you with her undivided attention. The warm and inviting space offers a relaxing environment to connect with your voice and the group around you.
Perfect for beginners and those with some experience, this course encourages a playful yet informed approach to making, inspired by historical and contemporary botanical art practices.
I can't wait to see you at Malavenda and help you unleash your ability to observe and create beauty by getting inspired by flowers. I will be guided to explore flower imagery and learning techniques to take away, share and develop further for future workshops. I am so excited about this series of classes as I designed them to include some of my personal favourites. I love empowering people to create art everywhere and bring colours and good vibes. - all abilities welcome. I really hope to see you there! - Sisetta

We attended one of Sisetta's botanical workshops last year and it was wonderful. A beautiful, communal space filled with people learning, creating and and connecting. We loved the event so much, we wrote an article about it - give it a read to learn more about what you can expect from one of Sisetta's events. Check it out here.
