ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS

Sasha and Alena are two local artists who share a passion for florals and co-own a small floral business Bloom Away. They say. . .

 “Nature is our eternal source of inspiration and while we love creating different pieces ourselves, we take an extra pride in teaching this craft. Most of the flowers we use to both create and teach our classes, are grown and dried by local farmers. So, let’s get to know each our and enjoy all things floral together!”

Carrie Schmitt is a professional painter and author who shares her joyful art process with others so they too can benefit from the healing and loving gifts creativity offers. She just opened an artist bed and breakfast for people to stay and nurture their mind, body, and spirits.

If you’d like to extend the party, stay after the workshop for dinner and a sleepover at HoM. This night will include an Open Studio for you to continue to paint on your own in the evening.
