Crafting with the Körners: "Blooming Book" Workshop with Bethany Ackiss of Forage Joy Florals

Join us for a hands-on “Blooming Book” workshop with local florist Bethany Ackiss with Forage Joy Florals and learn the art of floral design while creating a unique vase made out of a vintage book! Part of our Victorian Parlor Series, this program will provide participants with instruction on creating the book vase, including the tools and art of floral arranging from an experienced florist for a guided workshop experience.

Participants of this workshop will learn how to craft a unique piece of art from a vintage book that is not only beautiful but functional. The folded pages cleverly hide a water source to keep cut flowers vibrant and fresh. Also great for dried flower arrangements, plant propagation, pens, pencils, paintbrushes and more.

This workshop is perfect for all skill levels, from a complete beginner to the craft or someone looking to refine the floral skills they already have. Participants will enjoy learning the tips and tricks to help enhance skills while engaging with fellow crafting enthusiasts in the Community Room of the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitor Center. Light refreshments will be provided.

The program will be held from 1-4 PM, with instruction at the beginning of the session and ample time to create a unique floral display to be houses in the book vase with the remaining time. All supplies are provided in the ticket price. Participants will be given the book, materials for creating the vase, and the florals of varying kinds to create a one-of-a-kind piece to take home.

Please note: Tickets are nonrefundable
