🌼 FAQ: 2-Part Clay & Floral Workshop
What can I expect from this workshop?
This is a special two-part experience hosted by Studio Sumi and a local floral designer. In Part 1, you'll handbuild your own ceramic vase. In Part 2 (after the vase is fired and glazed), you'll return to fill it with a custom floral arrangement using seasonal blooms. It’s a creative, hands-on journey—start to finish!
Who is this workshop for?
Beginners and experienced makers alike! No pottery or floral experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and creativity.
What’s included?
✨ Clay, tools, and materials for vase-making
🌸 Flowers and arranging tools for Part 2
🫖 Complimentary Coffee & Tea Bar
🧼 Aprons and all firing + glazing included
Can I bring my own drinks or snacks?
Yes! This workshop is 21+ and BYOB-friendly, whether that’s wine, mocktails, or sparkling water.
What if I can’t make it to Part 2?
We’ll do our best to find a way for you to still receive your floral arrangement, but participation in both sessions is highly encouraged to get the full experience.
