Ceremony Botanical Studio
Workshops
We are all creators, but we don’t often take the time to nurture and develop this part of us. Ceremony Workshops are a way for all of us to tap into the creative parts of our self. Come revitalize old interests & skills, and spark new ones as we share our botanical expertise and crafts(wo)manship with our community.
Ceremony offers a diverse range of creative workshops and classes to inspire and cultivate the maker in you. From creative container gardening to fabric dyeing, we bring in artists who will share their knowledge with you and facilitate an inventive experience for all!
Our workshops are offered both onsite at Ceremony Botanical Studio and off-site for special events and parties. If you’d like to hire us for a custom, off-site workshop, inquire here!
We will be hosting a broad collection of workshops throughout Summer 2019 and into the Fall.
Our workshops vary in frequency, so please check our calendar to see a list of upcoming workshops & sign up for a class!
Upcoming Workshops
Epiphyte Mounting
May 25, 2019
Epiphytes are excellent plants for mounting. Because, in their natural habitat, they grow on other plants or trees they receive nutrients and water from the air they require very little care and watering, making them a low maintenance houseplant. Come get your hands dirty with us in Ceremony Botanical Studios dreamy backyard, as we choose from a range of epiphytic plants, natural cork, and moss to create our own piece of living art. We will teach you all you need to know about these plants while enjoying a mimosa on us! Cheers! Instructor: Katilyn Polk
Intro to Tarot
June 21, 2019
Joining us on this special evening is Hannah Naylor, an intuitive empath and Tarot reader who will guide us through beginner essentials of Tarot reading. Hannah will teach on the structure and individual meanings behind each tarot card, illuminate the ways in which astrology can inform the tarot deck, and how all of these elements combined offer insight into the many modes of ourselves and our individual journeys.
