Workshops at Philadelphia Floral Guild

Mini Designer Creative Retreats 2024

PFG does more than just sell flowers.   Also incorporated into our mission is building community as well as inspiring and restoring a passion for flowers.  To that end, we host a summer series of mini creative retreats for PFG wholesale customers.  Each event brings together our community in a relaxing environment where you’ll get to chat with fellow florists and unwind a bit.  Adult beverages and chocolate are be served too!  We’ll work together on a fun and low-stress creative botanical-themed project.   You’ll leave with a full heart and something cute for yourself.

In 2024, we have the following events planned.   We’ll send out an e-vite to customers closer to the date for each event.   We’re keeping the cost for each event between $20-$40.  Events are open to current PFG wholesale buyers only.  These are not public workshops.  If you’re not a PFG wholesaler customer and are interested in taking hands-on floral workshops, please check out Love ‘n Fresh Flowers for an extensive series of classes.

Tataki zome totes at Philadelphia Floral Guild during a workshop for florists

Tatakizome Totes
Monday, August 19, 2024

Tatakizome is the Japanese art of transferring natural pigments from fresh flowers and leaves onto fabric by simply hammering them onto the surface. It’s also know as flower pounding, leaf bashing and sometimes referred to as Hapa Zome. Join us and your fellow floral designers in the community at the hub where we’ll collect flowers to transfer on to canvas totes.  Get a little stress out before the autumn wedding season!
