Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Learn to make your own Thanksgiving (or autumn) centerpiece in my new workshop. This is taken from one of my online programs and for the holidays, I wanted to share it for free on my You Tube channel

This centerpiece is made with chrysanthemums, strawflower, and oat grass which were actually from the grocery store, however they were grown locally. I combined these grocery store flowers with foraged stems like olive branches and ivy berries. This is a great workshop if you are curious about how to use a kenzan (or flower frog) and how to build a low arrangement in a shallow bowl. 

I love using unexpected yet still seasonal floral combinations at this time of year and these mauvy-pink chrysanthemums are perfect in combination with pomegranate and silvery green olive branches. 

If you make a centerpiece inspired by this video, I’d love to see it!


Christmas Wreath Workshops and Wreath Kits

It’s that time of year again when wreath making and wreath workshops take over! I absolutely love wreath making and I love sharing it with those new to the craft or seasoned wreath makers through our virtual wreath making classes. We have an amazing partnership with a regenerative farm who supplies our wreath kits for our private class bookings.

There are a few different ways to participate in our wreath workshops:

Please call for an arms embargo today. This genocide has been carrying on for over one year, absolutely supported and funded by the US government.  You can take action right here .(this action is geared towards Americans but please take action in your own country to ask your government to stop support of this genocide).
