About this Event

Floral Design and Watercolor Painting combine for a unique workshop with Petals & Paint!

First, Port + Palm Co.'s lead designer, Jenny, will lead you through the step-by-step process of creating your very own lush floral arrangement in a vessel. You'll walk away with a basic knowledge of processing flowers, the types of flowers you’re designing with, mechanics, and general design rules to follow. The arrangement will be created in a reusable vessel that you can take home and continue creating flower arrangements with the skills you pick up in the workshop.

Second, teaching artist (and Arts Warehouse Program Director) Grace Gdaniec will guide you step by step using watercolor paint on paper in creating the different types of flowers from your bouquet, and how to build the composition of the arrangement on to paper.

Attendees will leave with a floral bouquet and watercolor painting unique to themselves (you are able to format the bouquet however you’d like!) at the end of class, along with skills to use in the future! Everyone has a different story and leaves with a different arrangement and painting completely unique to their own creativity. No experience necessary in either floral arranging or watercolor paint. This is open to those curious and experienced!
