Please join me and Kimberly Pymm of Cultivate Market for an evening of flower therapy at the only workshop I will offer this year.

(More details below.)

I have had so much admiration and respect for Kimberly Pymm as I observed her dream up her beautiful, thoughtful zero-waste business, Cultivate Market.

So I am thrilled to announce our collaboration, the one and only workshop I will be offering this year, coming up on the evening of Friday, May 20.

DAY: Friday, May 20
TIME: 6:30-8:30 pm
LOCATION:
Art Studio 4,
3474 S 2300 E #4,
Salt Lake City, UT
*Behind Roots Cafe.

We will take some time with each other, with flowers, and with nature, to pause and reconnect as we build nature-inspired floral centerpieces using locally grown flowers and wild foraged texture.

In this hands-on course, we will learn how to source seasonal local flowers, the basic principles of design, and ways to incorporate the practice of flower arranging as a means of re-centering and getting back in touch with nature.

When I met Olivia, she told me she was a potter. She dreamed of desert-inspired blooms in a minimalistic form that would drape over little bowls fashioned by her in a striking cerulean blue. Blue like the desert sky over red rock in the Utah desert.
 
After that, I sat with Emmily of Gatherist as she described an incredible handmade arch she had dreamt with an interior that would paint that same striking blue of Olivia’s pots. I thought about that visual recurrently in the months to come.
 
I began Olivia’s arrangements with a bit of wild in garden-grown Apache Plume. A Utah desert native plant, it features the most beautiful textural open branches topped with soft pink otherworldly plumes. To that, I added Lisianthus in taupe, a stunning and resilient flower native to the plains and bright sun. We softened the look with locally grown Poppies and wild roses. Colors were soft blush and gold and arranged to catch the light of golden hour.
 
The day I arrived at Under Canvas, early in June, it was 115 degrees. Literally. There were blast furnace winds that whipped tablecloths off tables and sent silverware flying. We set down bowls of flowers and watched them melt before our eyes as we stuffed them with desert rock to keep them from capsizing.
 
In the end, Jamie and I sat on a hidden hillside and watched in awe as Olivia’s stunning veil whipped hauntingly in the wind, billowing around that stunning arch and her wild bouquet. Despite all obstacles, the wedding was pulled together gorgeously by Emmily and her team.
