About this Event
Petals & Pages: Book Art Floral Workshop
Celebrate the beauty of literature and nature in this immersive, relaxing crafting experience. Designed for book lovers and floral enthusiasts alike, this workshop invites you to slow down, unwind, and create a sophisticated piece of textured, one-of-a-kind art. We’ll open with a gentle, short guided meditation to clear your mind, spark your imagination, and ease you into a state of relaxed crafting.
Using book-themed scrapbook paper, you’ll learn the art of paper book rolls to construct a rich, sculptural backdrop. You will then design a simple, elegant floral arrangement on top of your piece using a wide selection of vibrant silk florals, autumn blooms, and natural elements. The finished artwork is wonderfully versatile—perfect to hang on a wall, display on a tabletop, or give as a thoughtful, handcrafted gift.
All supplies provided. Whether you are looking for a creative refuge, a relaxing date, or a fun outing with friends, this workshop is open to anyone who appreciates books, flowers, and hands-on making.
Classes at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.
