December! Adult Workshops @ the Museum
Flower Potluck + Workshop
Saturday / December 7 /1-2:30pm
3550 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
$45 per person (ages 18+). Registration required.
Join us for a fun and hands-on floral arrangement workshop! This program kicks off with a floral arrangement demo, showing you creative ways to mix and match blooms. Then participants have a chance to play and experiment with a variety of flowers, colors, and textures.
What is a Flower Potluck? Participants will bring flowers (foraged or store-bought, a mix or all the same) + a vessel (something you want to arrange your flowers in). We’ll start by choosing flowers from our collective potluck, so make sure to arrive on time to pick from the full selection and dive into the creative process with us!
MoCA Arlington is thrilled to be working with @flower.potluck.dmv for this program. Check out their IG for their portfolio and to see more about their previous programs.
