the project
Flower prints are about capturing a moment in bloom — fleeting beauty pressed into something that lasts.
In this casual, come & go workshop, you’ll create your own botanical print on either a canvas tote bag or a tea towel. Using real flowers and greenery, you’ll hammer natural pigments into pre-treated fabric, leaving behind colorful, organic imprints that are both artful and unique. Your finished piece will hold the memory of the blooms you chose—something useful, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind.
We’re teaming up with Mystical Blossoms, a botanical wellness shop dedicated to bringing nature, beauty, and magic into everyday life.
Whether you’re looking for a fun outing, a kid-friendly activity, or simply want to slow down and make something with your hands, this workshop is for you.
the process
In this casual, come-and-go workshop, you’ll learn how to:
Select and arrange flowers, leaves, and greenery to create a natural print design
Hammer pigments into pre-treated fabric so your design becomes permanent and colorfast
Embrace organic, imperfect patterns that make each piece uniquely yours
You’ll leave with:
A custom botanical print on your choice of a tea towel or canvas tote
A deeper sense of connection to the earth through a little creative play
A moment of creative connection—slowing down, playing with nature, and turning something fleeting into something lasting
Whether it’s your first creative workshop or your fiftieth, this is an invitation to make something beautiful, hands-on, and entirely your own.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
You’ll create a one-of-a-kind floral print on your choice of a cotton tea towel or a canvas tote bag. Using real flowers and greenery, you’ll hammer vibrant, natural colors into pre-treated fabric to make a lasting, colorfast design.
Every piece is completely unique—no two prints are ever the same—so you’ll leave with a functional little work of art that’s all your own.
All materials, tools, safety gear, and good vibes are provided.
No need to register in advance—just drop in! The workshop is $30 per project, and you can pay in person with cash or Venmo. Super simple!
This is a casual, come-and-go style workshop running from 11 AM to 4 PM. There’s no set start time—just drop in whenever it works for you! Most people finish their project in about 20–30 minutes, but you’re welcome to take longer if you’d like.
Think of it as a relaxed, creative open house: come in, make something beautiful, and leave whenever you’re ready. No rush, no pressure—just time to play, create, and enjoy.
Absolutely! Creativity is even more fun when shared. Bring a friend, a partner, your kids, or make it a little group outing—everyone is welcome.
No need to register in advance, just drop in together anytime between 11–4 PM. The workshop is $30 per project, and each person can choose a tea towel or tote to make their own hammered flower print.
Yes! This workshop is totally kid-friendly. Little hands love the magic of seeing flowers turn into colorful prints, and it’s a fun way to spark creativity together.
Kids can make their own tote or tea towel with a grown-up’s help, or just join in for the hammering fun. It’s a casual, come-and-go setup—so feel free to pop in as a family and take your time.
If you have specific needs, please reach out—we want to make sure everyone feels safe and supported!
