Along the way, you’ll learn foundational techniques in shaping, coloring, and assembling petals—skills that can be applied to a wide variety of paper flowers beyond tulips. 

No prior experience is necessary. Whether you’re new to paper arts or looking to expand your creative practice, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance in a supportive, art-focused environment. 

By the end of class, you’ll complete at least one finished bloom and gain the skills, templates, and materials needed to continue creating a small bouquet of your own everlasting blossoms.

All are welcome—bring your curiosity and a creative spirit.
