paint alongside me

Join me in person for relaxed, welcoming workshops where creativity and connection flourish. Together we'll explore Australian flora through acrylic painting in a supportive environment.

flora in Focus: The Studio Experience

A two-day BOTANICAL workshop

Date: TUESDAY 6 - Wednesday 7 October 2026
Time: 10.00am – 2.00pm
Venue: HAYLEY’s Studio, ELLENBROOK, WA
Cost: $425

Come and spend two days in my creative sanctuary.

My studio is my favourite place to paint — surrounded by flowers, paintings, colour and all the little things that inspire me.

For this special workshop, I’m opening the doors and inviting just four people to come and share this space with me.

We’ll paint, chat, enjoy good food and flowers, and spend time really enjoying the creative process together.

A little more time to paint. A little more time to notice.

Over two days, we’ll work together on a 30 × 40 cm botanical painting, exploring composition, colour, layering, light and botanical detail.

I’ll demonstrate my process and work closely with you throughout the painting, giving you plenty of individual guidance along the way.

Because we have two days, there’s no need to rush. We can leave our paintings overnight and return the following morning with fresh eyes, ready to refine and finish them.

All painting materials, morning tea and a light lunch are included.

No previous experience is required — just come ready to paint and enjoy being creative.

Location: Hayley’s private studio, Swan Valley, Western Australia. Full address and arrival details will be provided upon booking.

Paid bookings are essential to secure your place.

Payment is non-refundable. We do understand circumstances change, if you can't make it, you can give your spot to another person or you can attend a future date at a discounted rate. If you are unwell, please do not attend.

Feathered Friends: A Country weekend Experience with 
Hayley Krüger
13-15 November 2026 

Price  $860 (Please Contact us for the Independent Stay Package price)

Escape to the country for a weekend of painting, creativity and connection at beautiful Greenhills Art Centre.

Wake up to the gorgeous local birdsong and bring that energy into the studio to create your very own feathered friend to take home as a reminder of this precious time in the country.

You’ll have a choice between two much-loved local birds — a Galah or a Wren — and spend the weekend developing your own 50 × 50 cm acrylic painting, giving your feathered friend its own individual personality with Hayley’s guidance.

Over two full days, Hayley will guide you through her painting process, from the initial drawing and composition through colour mixing, layering, light, form and the finer details that bring your bird to life.

With a full weekend together, there is time to really settle into the painting rather than rushing to finish. Through demonstrations and individual guidance, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the process at a relaxed pace while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Greenhills.

This weekend is an immersion in painting, learning and being creative, but it’s also an opportunity to step away from everyday life.  Arrive Friday afternoon to get settled in before enjoying a delicious welcome dinner. There is 24-hour access to the studio so plenty of time to continue painting in the evening if you wish, before enjoying good country food and hospitality and the company of fellow creatives.
