Create living ornaments that know no season. We’ll start with planning succulents into one ornament. Working with terrarium techniques, on a very small scale, first layering soil and sand to create visual interest. Choosing succulents and other decorations to complete the first of two living ornaments. The second will house an air plant. Air plants seem to thrive in the humidity captured by these open terrariums. Choose to make a pair by creating a similar landscape for your air plant or choose to design a unique environment for your second ornament. Gift wrapping will be provided should you choose to make a gift of your plant craft.

Photography captures the wider world, and with macro photography we go a little closer. In this workshop, we’re using macro photography to discover the hidden world all around us–the little things in the little things.
Sean Murphy, local portrait and wedding photographer, will teach students the best techniques and methods to capture these extreme close-up photographs. Students can take these extreme close-ups by using a DSLR or Mirrorless camera and adding a macro lens OR employ a photography-hack to use an old school film lens to get amazing results.
This class is perfect for all experience levels.

A living centerpiece makes a wonderful addition to tables shared in real life or virtually. Create an interesting landscape with hidden miniature house plants, mosses and colorful tropical plants. We will follow techniques for creating dish gardens and terrariums. Choose from a variety of shallow glass dishes for a base. Working with floral wiring techniques and an abundance of natural and decorative elements each design will burst with life and interest. Whether a cornucopia or mini forest scene make your living centerpiece your own.
