Story

I think we have all been overwhelmed by the news from Ukraine in the past few weeks. And I’m sure I am not the only one feeling completely useless and helpless.

But I have had an idea.
In a week or so, I am giving a lesson in wired wedding work to my wonderfully creative friend @tattieroseflowers and her team.
I’m deeply honoured to be doing this.
But I had a thought: IF I covered the costs of the flowers, and gave my time for free, I could raise some money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
And if I offered myself for auction, so to speak, I could possibly make some more. And do the only thing I can do in a purposeful way.
So if you’d be interested in a one to one lesson, a talk online, or a group lesson, on any area of flowers you’d like, I am game.
I don’t want this to be bargain time…you’ll have to make it worthwhile, as the cause is too important not to.
But everything I’d normally make will go to a British Red Cross - Ukraine Crisis Appeal. I am prepared to do roughly one day every two weeks.
I hope some of you might be interested….flower groups, collages, individuals, or anyone who’d like really.
I could even curate some extra special talks with friends in the flower world or other associated disciplines. Zoom or live in our studio in London. Or after dinner? ( if you throw in the dinner!)

Please email enquiries@shaneconnolly.co.uk if interested and let’s chat!
