You will have access to a selection of fresh flowers, kenzan (floral pin holders), and vases to create a composition that embodies natural beauty and simplicity. Students are also welcome to bring their own vases/kenzan. At the end of class you can take home the flowers, branches and greens that you used.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll use dried leaves, flowers, and stems to create beautiful botanical impressions in clay.

Each mug will be one of a kind, capturing the delicate shapes and textures of nature. Perfect for your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
