Join Sarah Shell, founder of Fern Studio Flowers, for an afternoon of floral design. Participants will be guided through the steps on how to design and arrange a compote in our signature garden style. We will be using lush, specialty blooms with a concentration on seasonal, local flowers. Ticket includes the compote container and all flowers and mechanics needed to create a stunning centerpiece. Ages 15 and up. 

In this workshop, students will experiment with seemingly ordinary plants to dye fabric samples for fascinating creations. Dress for a mess as we will be working with wet media that could stain clothes. Taught by local artist and educator Tabitha Ott.  Ages 15-adult, all materials and equipment provided.
