Join us for these incredible adventures into Hideyuki Niwa’s sublime floral art. Both of the workshops involve intriguing techniques with numerous applications, and with all our works, NO FLORAL FOAM WILL BE USED. The pictures listed with each workshop depict the types of works to be covered and created in the “hands-on” portion of our time together, but of course ours will be smaller in scale, shape, etc.

I hope you all will be as thrilled as I am to have the honor of working with Niwa, as we internalize the techniques and philosophies found in his astounding floral art.
