Spend a Saturday in spring arranging and sketching flowers. We will design a series of stem arrangements and capture them in sketches. Come learn more about flower names and sourcing as well as introductory principles of floral design & care. Our closing exploration will be designing one continuous floral landscape together.

Take time to observe nature, practice tactual stream of consciousness creativity and create in community with others.

Bring your own sketchbook and a medium with which to draw (pencil, charcoal, pastels, etc). Please wear comfortable clothes to easily move around in, as we’ll be sitting on the floor and working with fresh moss and things can get a little dirty.
