Shape something beautiful from the ground up in this two-part creative experience.
Begin at the Centered Clay Studio in Kennett Square, where you’ll craft your own ceramic floral vessel, designed to hold and highlight seasonal blooms. Then, during our second session, return to the Gardens to create a fresh floral arrangement perfectly suited to your handmade container. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind vessel filled with florals and the skills to fill it with beauty again and again.
