In this hands-on workshop, explore the techniques behind crafting a botanical handbag using fresh flowers, foliage, and textural elements. Learn how to construct a sturdy foundation and handle, then select and arrange floral materials with attention to color, balance, proportion, and movement. Experiment with the interplay of flowers and form to create a design that is both beautiful and unexpected.

Leave with your own one-of-a-kind floral handbag, a creative statement piece that reimagines the traditional bouquet and celebrates the possibilities of floral design.
