Petals and Pumpkins

A hands-on autumn floral workshop in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood. Design a moody basket arrangement in deep seasonal tones and take it home.

Petals and Pumpkins is a hands-on autumn floral workshop with a moody, romantic edge. Deep plum, bronze, and burgundy. Heirloom pumpkins. Texture layered until the whole thing reads like a still life.

Through guided instruction, you will learn stem preparation, designing with dark and saturated palettes, and how to build an arrangement with depth rather than height. Each participant will create a lush Fleurish style basket arrangement to take home, designed in a woven vessel with roses, mums, dried elements, and seasonal foliage.

This is an afternoon of refined leisure as much as a class. You will leave with a centerpiece ready for your own table and the techniques to recreate the look all season.

Petals and Pumpkins is for anyone who loves the drama of fall.
