Kayli of Solflower NWA will give you a brief tour of the farm and then jump into teaching you floral design basics and tips to create a table centerpiece with flowers straight from the field.

All materials to design with will be provided including vessels designed and created by Rainy Hopwood, owner of Ray Hopwood and 5th St. Studio. 

*vessels will be similar size as pictured but not the same shape or colors. Pictures are from our last workshop where the beautiful ceramic vessels were created by Erin Richardson, owner of Byrd in Hand.
