Flower Club
2022 - ongoing
Flower Club is a bi-monthly Flower Arranging Club in a pub in West Hull. It is one outcome of the Encyclopedia of Us work I’ve been leading on since 2018. Over time I’ve built trusted relationship with many individuals in the area including the landlady at Rayners Pub and self-taught florist Tommy Harrison, which has led us all to see the potential of Flower Club. Potential that; supports them as businesses, grows new connections in the area and offers locals a creative opportunity and joyful experience that puts beauty, flowers and their wellbeing at the centre.
“Flower Club is about trying something new, meeting new people and being with flowers. We work hard jobs and this is so wonderful to be relaxed and make beautiful things.” Pamela.
“I have never done this before, but look at what I’ve made. I’m really proud and feel happy.” Vala
“I love how we come in the pub on a friday evening, be with the amazing Tommy and get to make these beautiful things that bring us joy.” Jimmy
“I never get given flowers or buy flowers so this just lifts my spirits and i get to feel proud i have made the arrangement – that I am creative.” Valerie
