Join renowned floral designer Alethea Harampolis of Studio Choo for a morning of spring floral arranging in the gardens at Ground! You will learn the art of making a floral centerpiece in a contemporary style using local blooms and foliage supplied by several small Sonoma county flower farms. The farms proudly specialize in small batch heritage varieties and thoughtful growing practices.
The workshop will begin with a demonstration highlighting the elements of structure, placement and composition needed to create a design full of movement and balance. You will then create your own work of art with one-on-one guidance and instruction from Alethea. Cost includes all the materials to create an arrangement (flowers and vessel). Please bring your own snips or cutters.
*Note: Images shown represent the style of centerpiece that will be taught. Actual workshop flowers and arrangements will vary based on seasonal availability.
In accordance with COVID protocols, work stations will be socially distanced and we request that everyone wear masks. Members of the same household can share work stations (to request this please add a note when you purchase.) Classes are non-refundable, please be sure you can attend before you sign up!
