• Workshop participants ease into the day with creative prompts and a welcome circle to get grounded and set the tone.

  • Our first session focuses on the foundations of floral design. From tool basics to flower care and simple composition tips, you’ll start building confidence and finding your creative rhythm.

  • Participants will be responsible for brining their own lunch, but we'll provide water and some additional snacks throughout the day.

  • With the basics fresh, we’ll dive into hands-on arranging. We’ll explore shape, scale, and movement while encouraging personal style through floral design.

  • To close the day, you’ll create a final piece to share with the group. We’ll reflect on your process and celebrate the creativity that unfolded.

Student Testimonies

“I think my class with him really set the standard for how much I would want to participate in my future classes. I realized that a student only gets out of a class as much as they put into it. I try to engage as much as is appropriate in my classes and give as much as the professor does.”

— Former Student

It was very evident that he genuinely cared about the success of his students … he would go out of his way to check in with students and if you were falling behind, even though it is not his responsibility, he would reach out with his best attempts to try and catch you up to speed.”

— Former Student

He taught very concrete history, with strong sociological and historical contexts to discuss a specific theory or artistic trend, and then not only provided examples of that trend, but encouraged us to embody it in our art as well. His class was intellectual and thought-provoking as it was a participatory creative environment, and that was incredibly impactful for my learning experience.

One thing that always impressed me about his approach is that everything he taught was connected to creating a more just world, and he used media as a means of social justice. He really taught me the impact media had on society and how we can use it as a tool for equity.
