Pizza and pottery amongst the petals this Wednesday at Shimmering Pines’ paint your own vase night

Forget “paint and sip” – there’s a new creative combo in town, and it’s blooming with charm!

Forget “paint and sip” – there’s a new creative combo in town, and it’s blooming with charm! Shimmering Pines Farm, nestled at the gateway to the Clare Valley, is offering a unique experience this Wednesday evening: Pizza and Paint Your Own Vase amidst a sea of stunning summer flowers.

From 6pm onwards, nature lovers can wander through rows of vibrant blooms, gathering inspiration for their own ceramic creations. Under the guidance of Aleshia from Goldie Pottery Studio, attendees will decorate pre-made “bubble vases” with colourful underglazes. Think of it as painting, but with the added thrill of creating a lasting keepsake. Your masterpiece will be fired after the workshop, resulting in a watertight vase you can treasure forever.

This all-ages event is perfect for families, friends, or anyone seeking a creative escape. The workshop runs for 1-1.5 hours and includes all the materials you need, plus plenty of one-on-one assistance from Aleshia. And the best part? A delicious 11-inch pizza from Frankie & Sons Gourmet Pizzas is included in the $75 ticket price. Feeling peckish? Additional pizzas, desserts, and drinks are available for purchase at the farm (no BYO).

Shimmering Pines Farm, owned and operated by Jane and Simon Hogan, is a testament to their passion for gardening and flowers. Since purchasing the property in 2014, they’ve transformed it into a flourishing haven that draws visitors from far and wide. Known for its vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and green, the farm provides the perfect backdrop for photos, picnics, and leisurely strolls. The property also boasts a hall with 360-degree views and an in-built bar, making it a unique venue for weddings and special events.

If painting isn’t your passion, you can still soak up the atmosphere with the Pizza & Entry option. For $25, enjoy entry to the farm and a delicious 11-inch pizza from Frankie & Sons. It’s an affordable way to escape the city and enjoy a beautiful evening with loved ones (children under 15 years are free when sharing a pizza with an adult).
