Creative Workshops at The Butterfly House

Every Wednesday

From 2pm - 4pm

Slow down, create with your hands, and reconnect with yourself and the seasons.
Each Wednesday, we gather for a guided creative session inspired by nature, art, and mindful living.
Every workshop builds gently on the one before, think of it as an unfolding journey of creativity, where each week leaves you with something beautiful, made by you.

  • In this cozy, hands-on session, we’ll style your dried clay vases and dishes (made in our September workshop or brought from home) using fall foliage, dried flowers, branches, and natural textures.

    You’ll learn how to:

    Build a simple fall color palette for your space

    Arrange dried florals in a way that feels loose, poetic, and modern

    Create small seasonal vignettes on tables, shelves, and windowsills

    Layer textures to add warmth and intentionality to your home

  • Soft Pumpkin Pillows
    Wrap your home in warmth with handmade pumpkin pillows. Using soft velvet, cozy flannel, or warm linen, you’ll learn to hand-sew simple stuffed pumpkins, the perfect touch for your couch, reading nook, or seasonal centerpiece.
    No sewing experience needed, just a love for cozy details.

    Rafia Mushroom & Acorns
    Craft a little fall magic. In this whimsical workshop, we’ll use rafia to create sweet mushrooms and acorns. These charming ornaments also make beautiful little gifts.
    A lovely introduction to sculpture and rafia work.

  • Reimagine the classic fall wreath using dried flowers, foraged foliage, velvet ribbons, and unexpected textures. You’ll design a one-of-a-kind piece to welcome the season, whether for your door, wall, or table.
    We’ll focus on layering color, texture, and shape to reflect your personal fall aesthetic.

    All levels welcome, from minimalist to maximalist!
