SUMMARY:Blooms & Breath: Framed Floral Art $30.00
DESCRIPTION:Saturday May 23\, 2026 10:00am-11:30am \nBlooms & Breath: Framed Floral Art  $30.00 \nStep into a world of everlasting blooms and treat yourself to an evening of “Garden Therapy.” This workshop is an invitation to slow down and cultivate your own “indoor garden” through the art of floral assemblage. We begin our journey with a 5-minute garden-inspired guided visualization\, designed to transport your mind to a place of natural peace and prepare your creative spirit. \nFrom this centered state\, you will curate a stunning\, one-of-a-kind piece of art using uniquely repurposed frames and a lush selection of high-quality silk flowers and natural accents. Whether you choose to hang your masterpiece on a wall or display it as a flat “floral tray\,” you’ll leave with a sustainable\, maintenance-free botanical treasure. \nClasses at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+. \nTicket Policy \nAll ticket sales are final. As a small business\, we operate with limited class capacity.  Classes require advance planning\, preparation time\, and the gathering of materials and supplies. Because of our limited capacity\, we are typically unable to refill seats or recover the costs associated with cancellations. For these reasons\, all class ticket purchases are final and non-refundable. \nIf you’re unable to attend\, your ticket may be transferred to a friend or donated—just let us know ahead of time so we can update our guest list. Thank you for understanding and for supporting our small classes and creative offerings.
