Join us each month for a fun, hands-on experience to learn useful design principles and techniques centered around flowers. Each workshop has a different theme and is appropriate for all skill levels (even those with no experience)! Class sizes are limited to 15 participants so there is opportunity for individual attention.


All workshops are held at Kennedy's at 4665 Cascade Rd SE Grand Rapids, 49546 in the design room. See registration details below.

Upcoming Workshops:
