To grow as an artist, one must constantly push the boundaries of creativity and welcome new ideas. In the spirit of pushing floristry forward, I'm thrilled to invite you to an exceptional in-person workshop intended to open you up to new artful possibilities and practical solutions. 

This information-packed intensive, hosted by my friends at Mayesh, is designed to introduce you to an innovative set of skills that will transform how you approach your wearables and wedding personals. Recently, I’ve discovered new ways to approach the construction of bouquets and floral wearables. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share the armatures I’ve developed with you! These simple but powerful techniques allow designers to create work that is relevant, artful, as well as sturdy and reliable.  

One Mechanic,

Unlimited Possibilities

You’ll learn how to make shape-shifting, floating, “floral constellation” pieces that are modern, durable, long lasting, and simple to make. While the armatures are made with wire, they do not require traditional wiring and taping, and often, depending on the floral materials, no floral glue is needed either!
