2025 Class Offerings
2025 Classes are in the works. They will be posted soon.
Only paid participants may attend a class unless you get my permission to have a guest join you. Unless otherwise stated, classes are for adults only. Class fees are non-refundable and your space is not reserved until payment is received. If you are unable to attend a class for any reason please call the studio to let us know if you are giving your spot to another person or wish to reschedule your participation to another class. If floral materials have already been purchased for the class at the time you notify us of your cancelation, then that portion of the fee you paid will not be applied to a future class. I only allow for one class to be rescheduled without a rescheduling fee of $20. Please use the form below to request information or a registration invoice for any of the classes listed.
A glance at upcoming offerings includes: Working on these, and will post more soon.
With the Medical Lake Rec. Program I will be offering the following activities:
1. A Farm tour to visit a couple of local farms. Finalizing farms will list soon. June or July
2. A “berry delicious” breakfast at Billie’s Diner followed by a day picking blueberries at Piper’s Farm the end of July.
3. A Day in the Dahlia Fields at Tallgrass Farms learning all about dahlias, then walking the fields, picking your own for a special designing class. Take home a gorgeous centerpiece for your table. August 27th.
4. Visiting Wild Sage Farms Pumpkin Patch, select your favorite pumpkin to bring back to the Center to decorate with succulents and dried flowers. October
A special gathering I will call “Pedal(petal) Flowers Forward”, We will start by having a bouquet-making session at Medical Lake City Center upstairs, putting together a lot of bouquets to be handed out. Along with a greeting card and a flower hat/headband for you to wear. We will load up our bike baskets with bouquets or you may walk with a basket or bag full if you like. The goal is to pass out all the flowers to those you meet on the street, or at the park. To bring a smile to someone’s face, to surprise and delight them, and wish them well. We will meet back at the center for refreshments and a time of conversation about our experience. This will probably take place in August.
Other classes in the works include:
A weekend day of fun with flowers/fabric/food. A day of interactive classes for you to participate in, including sewing/quilting projects, (yes, bring your sewing machines) fabric dying, floral designing with fresh flowers, special home decor projects using dried flowers and edible flower fun projects, and more. A special lunch will be shared together on both days. This will run from 9-4 on a Saturday. Date and location TBD .
A community Flower Flash - where we create a special floral decoration in a public place for the community to enjoy. You will be a part of the creation of pieces and the execution of putting it all together. One day we will design everything and the second morning, early morning, we will set it up.
Flower Classes - More details will come soon.
1. Bouquet designing styles used for bridal bouquets. For the serious student. Probably in late May or early June.
2. Learn a variety of techniques for creating lovely displays for your home. For all flower lovers of all skill levels. In May and a second round in Late August/Sept.
3. You’d like me to come to you and a few friends to learn about flower design. If you want to host a flower party of sorts, let me know I’m open to that discussion.
*** New this year I’m calling the “Playful Pause For Rejuvenating Our Well-Being”. Playful Pause for short. In this gathering, it’s about slowing down, being present, and being open to the processes we will explore in creative play, for our healing. Some may be dealing with healing from grief, addictions, abuse, or physical healing from TBI, surgery recoveries or something else. This is to be a safe space for a few to gather together and focus on the simple joys of discovering delightful ways to express your creative side in the company of others who are also wanting to experience improved well-being. We will create a variety of projects throughout the year. Some will use special paper, watercolors, string, nails and wood, dried flowers, fabric, pinecones, wire, beads, and more. I’m starting these gatherings off small, 4 people max per 2-hour session. For now, I will host this gathering in my home, the kitchen table will be our space to gather with a cup of tea in hand, a smile, and open hearts for healing. First gathering will be January 25th, 12:30pm. Cost is $25.
