What You Will Make
Your instructor guides you through every step of arranging pressed flowers and leaves on card stock, from choosing a palette to placing delicate petals and ferns. Each guest creates three unique greeting cards that can be sent as thoughtful gifts, used as wall decor or preserved in any standard 4 by 6 inch photo frame.
Past guests describe the class as fun and relaxed, with lots of dried flowers and materials to choose from, and a teacher who is friendly, helpful and quite talented with a big range of pressed flowers.
Why It Works for Groups
Card making is quiet enough for conversation and focused enough that people forget about their inboxes. Everyone works with the same materials, yet no two cards come out alike, which sparks easy compliments and comparisons around the table. That makes it a natural choice among creative team bonding activities and creative team building activities for teams that want something gentle and hands-on.
It is great for birthdays, celebrations, bachelorette parties and team-building events, and with private groups from 5 guests it is also one of the easier team building activities for small groups to book. Larger groups of up to 50 can share the space, and everyone goes home with handmade cards ready for the next birthday or holiday.
About Your Host
Workshops take place at a non-profit neighborhood cafe in Santa Clara that is directly connected to a community yoga studio. The cafe specializes in high quality teas, local espresso and coffee, and fruit and herbal drinks, and it doubles as a space for the local community, hosting group and private classes and partnership fundraisers that give back.
The space offers free Wi-Fi, tables with outlets, comfy seating and free parking, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible. For private events the team is happy to customize the design to align with your chosen theme, and you can choose your own date and time.
The cafe serves coffee from a local roaster, sources products from other local female-owned businesses and shares its home with a non-profit yoga studio next door whose mission is to empower women and promote wellbeing. Guests often stay after class for a matcha latte or a fruit drink.
Tips for Planners
If your event has a theme or a color palette, mention it when you book; the team is happy to customize the design to match. Because the cards fit a standard frame, they also make lovely keepsakes for bridal showers, birthdays or a thank-you gift for a colleague.
Public sessions of this workshop are hosted monthly, so a private booking is the way to pick your own date and time and keep the room to your own group.
