A design intensive for industry professionals to restore and inspire as we enter the heat of the season, followed by a delicious dinner to connect with each other and enjoy the beauty that we’ll create.
Led by Semia Dunne of Flowers by Semia, this workshop will be a practice in connecting a design concept to the season, the space, and the individuality of the event. You’ll learn to work with unexpected elements and reach outside your comfort zone to create naturalistic and luxuriously abundant designs that are closely inspired by the farm that will surround us. Semia will share her approach to creating an immersive tablescape that captivates guests through color, movement and layering.
Following the workshop, we’ll dine together fireside under the summer sky. Chef Chris Ly, of Wooden Bar in Worcester, MA will scratch cook a garden inspired wood-fired pizza dinner. Complimentary beverages provided by our hosts at Bell Brook.
Shannon Grant will capture each student’s individual work along with the full tablescape for portfolio use.
