2 - 3:30 PM

Stew Makerspace, Craft & Paint Studio

Overview

Grab a friend and join Bethany for a no experience necessary workshop to dye, paint, and arrange a decorative pot of faux succulents using sola wood flowers. Use one of our 6” pots or feel free to bring your own!

In this class, you will:

  • 🎨 Dye & paint sola wood flowers to look like succulents
  • ✨ Add a little sparkle, if you like 🪏 Prepare a planter with foam & rocks
  • 🪴 “Plant” your painted succulents

These succulents have all the aesthetic appeal of living plants AND the easy care of artificial ones – without the "ick" of plastic flowers. Sola wood flowers are realistic-looking artificial flowers made from the natural, woody root fibers of the Shola plant!
