Join us for a still life drawing class at Charleston’s beautiful Flowershop. This two hour class begins with Lily telling us about her curated flower arrangements, whimsically and sculpturally styled around the table with taper candles, vases, and shears. Artist Gabriela Gomez-Misserian will lead a workshop on her loose, free approach to composing subjects on paper and drawing nature and familiar objects. Participants are free to choose to draw, watercolor, or both! 

Participants will also take home a Flowershop bud vase arrangement, small set of Japanese watercolors, French neocolonial water soluble wax crayons, Lyra graphite crayons, and archival Arches paper. 

This event is Saturday, October 17, 2036 from 10:30a-12:30p at Flowershop at 123 Spring St, Charleston, SC 29403. Parking is available at the shop and there is free street parking as well. Spots are limited.

For Lily, floral design is about the intersection of beauty, natural materials, and human connection. It’s an organic process both creatively and relationally.

More about Gabriela Gomez-Misserian: Gabriela is an artist whose work gravitates around the natural world. Bright color, gestural marks, and playful compositions bring the energy outside into the studio. Ecological knowledge, environmental stewardship, native gardening, and the natural rhythms of the world are a wellspring of creative inspiration.
