Using a variety of real pressed flowers and decoupage techniques, you'll design and assemble your own botanical patterns to create a pair of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gourds.
Plus, the Colorful Plate Café will be open during the workshop offering delicious beverages and snacks available for purchase throughout the evening!
