Summer Send Off

A hands-on floral arrangement workshop in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood. Build a vase arrangement with the last blooms of the season and take it home.

Summer Send Off is a hands-on floral workshop built around the last blooms of the season. September is when Midwest growers send out their final harvest, and the color is at its richest right before it turns. This class is a chance to work with those stems while they are still here.

Through guided instruction, you will learn stem preparation, color layering, and how to build height and movement in a vase arrangement. Each participant will create a lush Fleurish style arrangement to take home, designed in a footed vessel with late summer flowers and garden greenery in warm, sun soaked tones.

This is an afternoon of slowing down before the season shifts. You will leave with a finished piece and the techniques to keep designing at home.

Summer Send Off is for anyone who wants one more warm afternoon before fall arrives.
