Discover the joy of floral arranging in this creative workshop series led by Lorraine Walsh and Mary Lou Ashur of Artistry Floral. With backgrounds rooted in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Lorraine and Mary Lou bring a wealth of experience and artistry to each session.
Each hands-on class explores floral design fundamentals—from developing structure and balance to working confidently with color, texture, and movement. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills, create a meaningful handmade gift, or simply try something new, you’ll leave inspired—and with a beautiful seasonal arrangement to enjoy at home. Various dates are scheduled now through March 27 – learn and register at https://www.cognitoforms.com/MassachusettsHorticulturalSociety/_2026FWHandsOnWorkshopsFloralDesign. The one we are highlighting today is Your Thanksgiving Table on November 14.
Lorraine and Mary Lou met in 2016 while working as floral associates at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where they designed art-inspired installations for galleries, restaurants, special events, and holiday displays. Today, through Artistry Floral, they create distinctive bouquets, tablescapes, and large-scale installations rooted in seasonality and high-quality blooms sourced from both local growers and global producers. Their work reflects a commitment to environmentally responsible practices and thoughtful, client-centered design.
All levels are welcome—beginners encouraged.
Class size is limited; registration closes one week prior to allow time for materials preparation.
