4. Nature impressions (up to 6 people)

I absolutely adore this workshop! Every session brings its own unique gifts, whether it's the blooming cherries, dandelions, lilacs, poppies, autumn leaves or evergreens. We can preserve the essence of each season in porcelain! This workshop is the easiest and most enjoyable one of them all. It always brings a smile to our faces and deepens our connection to the environment.
