About this workshop
Step into the spirit of the season with our Halloween Pumpkin Flower Arranging Class, a playful and creative workshop designed for anyone who loves autumn, flowers, and a touch of spooky fun. This class is more than just a lesson in floral design—it’s a lively social gathering where creativity blooms, friendships spark, and you leave with a one-of-a-kind arrangement to celebrate Halloween at home.
The Cass School of Floral Design has been teaching the art of flowers since 1979, guiding thousands of students and professionals in both classic techniques and modern trends. In this Halloween-themed workshop, our master instructors bring decades of experience into a relaxed and welcoming classroom. You’ll receive personalized attention in a small group setting, ensuring that every student has the chance to learn, create, and enjoy. Whether you’ve never touched a flower knife before or you’ve dabbled in arranging at home, this beginner-friendly class is designed with you in mind. No prior experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to play with flowers and pumpkins.
🍂 What You’ll Do and Learn
At the heart of this workshop is the transformation of the humble pumpkin into a striking floral container. We’ll explore seasonal blooms, foliage, and textural elements that capture the magic of autumn. Along the way, you’ll learn:
- The fascinating history of pumpkins and their role in fall traditions.
- Tips on where to buy or grow flowers, gourds and foliage for seasonal arrangements.
- Floral design methods—placement, balance, color, and texture—used by professionals.
- Current design trends in seasonal arrangements, plus opportunities to continue your floral journey.
This isn’t just about arranging flowers; it’s about discovering the botany, stories, and creative techniques that make floral design such an inspiring art form.
🎃 A Fun, Social Setting
The workshop is designed to be interactive and community-oriented. You’ll work alongside other flower lovers, swapping ideas and admiring each other’s creations. To keep the mood festive, we’ll serve spooky-themed mocktails and seasonal treats, making the evening feel more like a gathering of friends than a classroom. By the end, you’ll leave not only with a beautiful centerpiece but also with shared memories and maybe even new connections.
🌸 Your Instructors
Our instructors aren’t just talented florists—they’re dedicated teachers. With years of experience in both design and education, they know how to break down techniques so that everyone, from beginners to more confident arrangers, feels supported and inspired. Because the class size is intentionally kept small, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, get hands-on help, and make the most of your time in the studio.
🌿 What’s Included
Everything you need is provided: fresh flowers, foliage, the pumpkin container, tools, and all supplies. There’s no need to bring anything except yourself (and perhaps a friend). At the end of class, you’ll take home your finished pumpkin floral arrangement—a seasonal showstopper perfect for your Halloween table or front entry.
