Step into the studio for a transformative, one-day workshop designed to elevate your floral skills while honoring the planet. We’re bridging the gap between high-end aesthetics and eco-conscious practices, proving that you can create luxury arrangements that are as kind to the earth as they are stunning to look at.

Throughout the day, you’ll master the art of conscious design from the ground up. We’ll teach you how to source and forage greenery responsibly, trade out single-use design tools for sustainable alternatives and celebrate the very best of our region by working with fresh, hyper-local flowers grown by In Bloom Flower Farm. You’ll gain the practical skills needed to lower your environmental impact while crafting a gorgeous, high-impact arrangement with your own hands. Spaces are limited to keep this experience intimate and hands-on.

Derived from the French expression for "in open air," plein air painting invites artists to step outside the studio and capture the landscape live on location. This fall, join us on Saturday mornings as we travel to scenic spots throughout the CSRA to paint the vibrant autumn season in watercolor. Painting outdoors presents unique and exciting challenges, from shifting light to vast surroundings. At each weekly location, you will choose your own focal point and learn how to translate the scene before you onto paper. With individual guidance and suggestions from the instructor, you will focus on framing strong compositions, working with confidence and speed, and learning the art of editing and discovering what elements strengthen your painting and what can be left out. Classes meet every Saturday morning at a different designated location across the CSRA. Students bring their own watercolor supplies, and a complete supply list will be provided following registration.

*If a class must be cancelled due to inclement weather, a make-up date will be provided.

**No class on October 24, 2026.
