Class: Gifting Floral Joy with Paper Collages
Saturday, December 21st @ 10:00 - 11:00 am
Make them a handmade gift they'll cherish - we'll be making paper cut out floral still life collages from our stationery and floral still life notecard collection. We'll each pick our favorites - a stationery backdrop from our 24 hand-drawn original designs and a floral still life from our 20+ notecard collection. And then we'll get crafty with scissors and mod podge to bring our paper cut out collage to life! At the end of the hour, you'll leave with your own framed masterpiece that you can gift or cherish yourself as a little (5" x 5") reminder of floral beauty & joy!
Class Fee: $40, includes all materials, including frame
Gathering: Sip & Seek Beauty
Saturday, January 4th @ 10:00 - 11:00 am
Start the new year off right: treat yourself to an hour in the company of floral-loving kindred spirits as we reawaken our ability to see the beauty around us. We'll welcome in the weekend by sipping our rose hot cocoa & go on individual treasure hunts to seek out the beauty we're drawn to (in the books, fabric, and flowers throughout the shop.) We'll record our finds and reflections in our journals (provided - your choice of one of our hardbound journals featuring our original floral designs) and then come back to share with the group what moved us and why. Join us to kickstart a daily practice you can continue throughout the year.
Fee: Free for annual members; $40 for non-members (or equivalent in-store purchase)
Class: New Year, New Dreams
Journal Makeover Workshop
Saturday, January 11th @ 10:00 - 11:00 am
Have a notebook, journal, or binder at home that could use a refresh? Tap into the inspiration of the new year to start anew and give an old standby a new infusion of floral beauty! We will be using our peel & stick wallpaper samples for the redesign and will spend the first 10 minutes picking our favorites from our collection of 100+ designs. Then we'll get crafty with scissors and folds to give our notebooks a beautiful new look!
Class Fee: $40, includes one $12 2 foot x 1 foot sample wallpaper sample which will cover 1 journal; please bring whatever journal or notebook you'd like to cover :)
Class: Delighting in the Details
Friday, January 17th @ 5:00 - 6:00 pm
Those who've come to our botanical watercolor classes have learned about our counterintuitive (and simple!) techniques for accessing our inner artists and quickly bringing floral beauty to life on the page. In this class, we take it a step further to talk about pen work - bringing details to life in pen strokes after the essence of each bloom is already on the page. Join if you've been before or if this is your first class! We'll spend a meditative hour bringing our favorite blooms to life and adding in fine details that make each bloom pop. At the end, you'll take home your very own floral masterpiece!
Class Fee: $40, includes all materials
Class: Painting the Winter Garden
Saturday, January 18th @ 10:00 - 11:00 am
Even in the midst of winter, the garden is full of beauty. Join us as we savor the beauty nature has to offer even during these winter months and bring our favorites to life in watercolor floral still lifes. Our inspiration will be the real life foliage and seed pods from the Sew & Bloom garden (possibilities include pine, sage, sedum, azalea, goldenrod, and more). We'll discuss watercolor floral painting techniques and then bring our still lifes into being. Come spend a meditative and joy-filled hour among kindred floral-loving spirits and take home your very own watercolor portrait of winter beauty. Fee: $40, includes all materials
Or, Book a Private Workshop to
Celebrate a Special Occasion
Did you know that you can celebrate a special birthday, family reunion, or team milestone with us? We've hosted everything from a gals' night birthday celebration to a work team bonding outing to a family workshop for three generations. We will tailor the class to your group's interests. Examples of possible workshops include:
-
Celebrating a birthday by creating a floral still life - Each attendee paints a flower in honor of the birthday guest and then everyone collages their flowers onto a shared keepsake canvas - a joyful, memorable, and fun-filled way to make new memories and celebrate a special day!
-
Team bonding through fast bouquet painting - Everyone loves this workshop where we tap into our inner artists through expressive floral painting. People see new sides of their colleagues, appreciate all their collective creative abilities, and everyone leaves with their very own floral masterpiece memento of this shared experience.
-
Celebrating family togetherness by creating a family bouquet - each attendee paints their birth month flower and then everyone collages their flower into a collective family bouquet that can be framed as a symbol of family love and a memento of this shared time together.
Or, we can design something new for your group! Our goal is to help you plan a joyful, flower-filled, and memorable experience! The fee for private workshops is $350/hour (and includes up to 8 people). Click below to be in touch, and we'll look forward to hosting you!
