Sunday, August 23rd, 4pm - 6pm at Haus Theory (2182 3rd St, White Bear Lake)

Design your own elevated floral arrangement in this “201” class, featuring locally-grown August flowers! Join Elle, farmer-florist at Mellifera, to learn technical and artistic components to floral design, and in the process create your own unique centerpiece with local blooms from the farm. 

How does this workshop differ from “Centerpiece” workshops? Dive deeper into color theory, explore larger designs with more dynamic shapes, and work with even more premium blooms (hello lisianthus and dahlias!). While you aren’t required to have taken a Mellifera floral workshop previously, some general comfort with artistic expression is a plus!

Hosted at Haus Theory in Downtown WBL. All materials and tools are provided. Light refreshments will be available!

Learn to craft an expressive, organic floral design that celebrates seasonality. We’ll use only MN/WI-grown flowers, plus foraged goodies reflecting our prairie, river valley, and Northwoods ecosystems. Explore summer flower favorites like zinnias, sunflowers, and snapdragons, and meet new-to-you unique varieties! 

Elle will demonstrate color theory, how to see flowers’ structural and textural roles in design, and floristry tips and tricks to maximize vase life and health of your flowers. Learn to transform your farmers market, backyard garden, and grocery store bouquets into unique, organic arrangements. Perfect for gardeners showcasing backyard blooms, creatives looking for new mediums of expression, or anyone craving more play and self-expression in their life.
