Discover the beautiful intersection between art and nature with our 2025–26 Floral Sun Series: Art in Bloom! Each month, explore the styles of a renowned artist or art movement and transform them into stunning floral arrangements. Let your creativity blossom as you learn, design, and bring masterpieces to life through flowers.
This December, discover the elegance of floral design through the lens of John Singer Sargent’s timeless artistry. In this hands-on workshop, explore how Sargent used light, texture, and subtle variations of tone—especially in his evocative “white on white” compositions—to create depth and emotion. Drawing from these principles, craft your own all-white floral arrangements that capture the softness and sophistication of his style. This experience blends art history with floral creativity for a truly inspired design journey.
