Do you like pottery? Want to see how it’s done? Tour the compound? Have a tea party? Play around on the wheel? There are so many things we could do during a studio visit at Cedar Mountain Potters. Come by and meet Laurel MacDuffie, a full time studio potter and sculptor, ask lots of questions, and have some fun.

Come engage your senses and learn a new craft with Molly Friedland of the Little Red Flower Truck! We will use locally grown flowers to create unique floral centerpieces that highlight the best of what's in bloom. Molly will share the basics of traditional floral design and facilitate a low-pressure, no experience needed workshop that will focus on sustainable floristry and agriculture. 

Materials included: flowers, medium sized vase to arrange into, all the mechanics and tools you will need to make your own stunning work or floral art. Participants will leave the workshop with their own arrangement and an understanding of floral design basics.

This workshop is suitable for all ability levels.
