Service Description

Brisbane artists Kate Quinn and Emily Day are hosting a divine art experience near Mt Tamborine in May/June 2025. You will enjoy a very special day of art, flowers, and food, as we soak in the spectacular views across the rolling hills and ocean at Highgarden Estate, a historic mountain homestead and garden. Running on either Saturday the 31st May, or Sunday the 1st June, from 9am-5pm, you will learn how to paint a simple floral still life in a small group, in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Suitable for beginners, as well as those with some hobby painting experience, you will spend a day learning new artistic skills while chatting and laughing with new or old friends. To start the day, we will gather in Highgarden Estate's spectacular garden, weather permitting, to commence our painting. At lunchtime we will put the brushes down and enjoy a delicious catered meal. After class, will enjoy a special gin tasting session with a local distiller, as we take in the views. Emily and Kate will spread the small class of maximum 16 students into 'acrylics' and 'oils' painting groups, and will provide creative guidance in a non-judgemental, kind and supportive way. If you book with friends we will make sure you are seated together, and if you are coming on your own (many people do), we will ensure you are seated next to a friendly group and get extra special care! Emily and Kate, look forward to welcoming you to a unique day at this 100 year old hinterland estate, surrounded by avocado orchards, established gardens, and rainforest. This Bloom Art Experience costs $540 per person for a full day, and includes all materials, morning tea, lunch, drinks during and after class, as well as a goody bag to take home. A note about cancellations: Classes are fully refundable upon request up to 30 days prior to the date you have booked. This allows us to offer your place to another customer. Classes cancelled in the 30 days leading up to the event are not refundable, unless we are able to fill your spot with someone on a waiting list - and in this case we are more than happy to refund you. If in the unlikely event the class needs to be cancelled due to host/artist illness or other unexpected event, we will fully refund participants.
