As part of our 10 Year Party, join us for a hands-on floral bouquet workshop using fresh roses and other seasonal blooms. Led by educators from Saint Remy Arts & Culture, participants will engage in a mindful floral arranging practice inspired by the gallery’s current exhibition ‘Destiny Is a Rose: The Eileen Harris Norton Collection.’ Each participant will create a bouquet to take home.

This drop-in, all-ages workshop is free to attend while supplies last. Seating will be available on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are recommended to help us estimate attendance. Click here to register.

This workshop is part of our 10 Year Party, a daytime, all ages anniversary celebration with free workshops, ice cream, biscuits and live salsa within a former flour mill turned art gallery.
