Midsummer Floral Workshop with Katina Connaughton

Floral Workshops at SingleThread Farms are designed and led by Katina Connaughton, head farmer, floral designer and co-owner at SingleThread and her talented team of Floral Designers. These workshops offer guests the opportunity to delve into many disciplines – flower growing and harvesting techniques, elements and execution of design, use of floral shop tools, identification of seasonal materials and more. Each workshop will be inspired by what’s growing on the farm that month, and what’s in season. June’s workshop will celebrate midsummer and will include making floral crowns and much more.

A midsummer workshop dedicated to our role in the natural world. Connect through materials found and cultivated in our field.

The solstice is a magical time for wishing. Inspired by the palettes of this season’s beautiful early sunrises and long golden sunsets, we will learn how to make flower crowns, flower bracelets, and posies to adorn ourselves and loved ones with. Guests will learn the mechanics of wearable florals, color theory, as well as the different floral varieties that are at peak bloom in June. We will also reflect on the season behind us to pay gratitude to the beautiful materials it brought us and look forward to the season ahead with anticipation of what is to come. Along with creating beautiful florals, guests will receive refreshments prepared by our SingleThread chefs and a special, hand crafted Japanese pruner to continue enjoying building floral art with at home.
