Floral Design with Max Gill

more about this class

Discover the art of designing stunning centerpieces that reflect your unique creative voice. In this workshop, you'll not only learn essential techniques but also gain insight into Max's sources of inspiration, creative journey, and evolving style to help refine your own approach. Max's signature method is deeply rooted in natural processes, featuring specialty blooms and rare botanicals sourced from local growers. Using a limited palette and minimal elements, we’ll focus on building a strong spatial foundation—skills that can be scaled from centerpieces to more complex floral installations. There is a 35.00 materials fee paid directly to the artist the day of class via Venom or cash. BIO: Max Gill is a Berkeley, California-based floral designer and artist.
