Floral Design 201: September Statement Arrangement (9/6)

$90.00

Sunday, September 6th, 2pm - 4pm at Yellowbird Coffee Bar NE (639 22nd Ave NE, MPLS)

Design your own elevated floral arrangement in this “201” version of Mellifera’s design workshop, featuring locally-grown September 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!
