2026 Early Spring workshops:

This March, I will start small workshops in my new studio in Fairfield. The plan is to hold workshops throughout the year, with the chance to save some money if you sign up for 2 or more classes. Keep your eyes open here & on my Instagram page @tinasfloralsurroundings, for updates and what will be your welcome gift when you sign up! Looking forward to having many fun and creative workshop this coming year!

Note: Unfortunately the studio is not handicap accessible, and restroom is next door in my house.

What to Expect

Each workshop includes necessary materials, including a variety of fresh flowers, tools, and vases. No prior experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to explore. These classes will be small, so if you want to join, bring a friend! -The sooner you sign up, the better chance you have.

When you sign up & come to my studio to join a workshop, take some time for yourself to relax and create something beautiful that you can bring home, I think it needs to be a well thought plan of what material we are going to use.

I like to use material that is long-lasting, of good quality, and that gives you the chance to practice and really feel that you are learning something & really enjoy the journey. I want to find unique containers and might pick some more expensive, unusual flowers to have a wider variety of shape & texture.

You might find other local workshops for less money, but with mine- we are working on your creativity and imagination, and I hope you walk away with full heart & a hunger for more.

Thank you for supporting a woman owned small business.

SPring Floral Workshop: Saturday, march 28th 4:00 pm- 6:00 pm

Drawing inspiration from organic Scandinavian design, this experience celebrates simplicity, movement, and the beauty of spring. Spots are limited-reserve your seat and join us!

Easter Arrangement: Friday, April 3rd 4:00 pm-6:00 PM

We’ll design an oblong arrangement in bright, cheerful Spring colors, using the freshest seasonal cut flowers and adding a few playful Easter accents for a touch of charm. Take it home to grace your own Easter table, or share it as a thoughtful hostess gift for the weekend.

Along the way, we’ll talk about simple care tips and creative additions so your arrangement can be enjoyed even longer. It would be such a lovely way to welcome the season. Click here to sign up!

Spring Wreath, Faux Flowers: Saturday, April 25th 4:oo PM-6:00 PM

Create a beautiful faux spring wreath to welcome the season, whether it’s displayed on your front door or styled inside your home — perhaps even above the fireplace. We’ll design on a 20-inch metal frame, carefully gluing and wiring a lovely mix of faux spring and summer florals with lush greenery for a full, natural look. The finished wreath will carry you beautifully through late spring and into the summer months.

It also makes a wonderfully personal gift for someone special — a thoughtful way to share a little seasonal cheer. It could be such a sweet addition to your home. Click here to sign up!

Mother’s day vase: Wednesday, May 6th 4:00 pm-6:00 pm

Create a taller glass vase arrangement, filled to the brim with lovely summer blooms, perfect for a kitchen island or the center of a dining room table. Together, we’ll design a whimsical blend of spring branches and fresh flowers — airy, abundant, and full of life. This piece is created in celebration of all kinds of mothers: grandmothers, mothers we miss, mothers who live far away, pet-mothers, mothers-to-be, and the women who mother in their own quiet, meaningful ways. It’s a gentle way to honor love in all its forms.

Keep it as a reminder in your own home, or gift it to someone who holds a special place in your heart. We’ll also talk through simple care tips to help your fresh flowers last as long as possible, so their beauty can be enjoyed for days to come.

It would be such a meaningful way to pause and celebrate the ones who nurture us. Click here to sign up!

Spring Planter: Saturday, May 16th 4:00 pm-6:00pm

Welcome the season with a fresh planter for your front porch or patio — something full of texture, movement, and a little personality. We’ll create an informal grouping of interesting, eye-catching plants in a 10–12 inch pot, choosing varieties that feel just a bit unexpected. Not your everyday annuals… we’re going a little rogue in the most beautiful way.

Together, we’ll talk through how to care for your outdoor planter so it thrives through the warmth of the coming months, keeping it lush and lively all season long. It could be such a lovely way to refresh your outdoor space and greet the season with something uniquely yours! Click here to sign up!

Summer Arrangement: Sunday, May 31st 4:00pm-6:00 pm

Let your creativity wander with a freeform, whimsical arrangement filled with layered textures and vibrant color. We’ll work with unique blooms — some you may have never seen before — creating something organic, expressive, and entirely your own. This design invites movement and personality, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that feels artful and a little unexpected. It’s the kind of arrangement that naturally becomes a conversation piece wherever it’s placed.

It might be such a fun way to explore something different and bring home a design that feels truly personal! Click here to sign up!
