Flowers Empower PRIDE - What's Your Flower?
This event is SOLD OUT.
During the month of PRIDE, artist, Marcellus and florist, Marvin Edward, will be using flowers as a metaphor to explore the infinite possibilities of identity. Participants will experience the history of floriography–the symbolic meaning of flowers–through an interactive personality quiz. At the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a handcrafted and unique flower which matches their personality. A smartphone or computer device will be needed for the personality quiz, but is not required to participate in the workshop.
Limited to 30 participants. Museum admission is included with your registration.
