About
Wildflower Floral Workshop12 -13 August 2026
SurfAir Events Centre, Marcoola, Sunshine Coast, QLD
Join Melbourne-based floral artist Katie Marx who will lead a two-day, hands-on workshop exploring the art of designing with wildflowers. Known for her natural, textural style and creative use of native botanicals, Katie will share techniques for working with form, colour and movement to create expressive arrangements that celebrate the character of wildflowers.
Participants will work with beautiful flowers supplied directly by the growers themselves. Over two days, students will design individual arrangements and collaborate on the design and construction of several large installations that will be used to style the venue for the upcoming Australian Wildflower Conference.
Meet the Growers – A reception will be held at the conclusion of the workshop that coincides with flower growers arriving for the Wildflower Conference. Meet the growers, connect with your industry peers, chat all things flowers and enjoy an evening celebrating wildflowers!
