About the event
Midwinter Blooms
When winter feels long and gray, step inside and think of summer. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll capture the beauty of warm days using fresh flowers sourced from the flower market and turn them into functional art. Using a technique called flower pounding, you’ll gently hammer blooms directly into fabric, transferring their natural colors and organic patterns onto a cotton tote bag for a beautifully botanical result. It’s creative, tactile, and surprisingly meditative—part art project, part winter mood-lift. In this workshop, you’ll: • Design a one-of-a-kind cotton tote bag using fresh market flowers and foliage • Learn flower pounding techniques to transfer natural pigments to fabric • Experiment with flower pounding on paper to create additional keepsakes Included supplies: • Fresh flowers and greenery sourced from the flower market • Flower pounding tools • One cotton tote bag per participant You’ll leave with a nature-inspired tote that’s both beautiful and useful—plus a reminder of summer to carry you through the winter months. 🍷 BYOB event
