There’s something about sitting across from someone, arranging pressed petals on a frame or tucking dried florals between the pages of a bookmark, that makes conversation come easier. Laughter comes quicker. The room feels warmer.
That’s what we’ve come to love most about hosting workshops. Not just the finished pieces our guests take home, but the moments that happen while they’re making them.
At Element, our pressed flower workshops are one of our favorite ways to share what we do beyond bouquet preservation. Whether we’re setting up at a winery, traveling to your studio, or hosting your group at our Easton space, we bring everything you need: the pressed flowers, the materials, and the step-by-step guidance to create something beautiful with your own hands. No experience necessary. Just show up and enjoy the process.
What to Expect at an Element Workshop
Every workshop we host is designed to feel relaxed, creative, and completely approachable. We’re not here to teach a stiff art class. We’re here to guide you through a hands-on experience where you get to slow down and make something meaningful.
Here’s how it works: we arrive with all of the materials, including our hand-pressed florals, and set up everything before your group walks in. Our Creative Manager, Jenni, leads each session, walking guests through the design process step by step. You’ll choose from a curated selection of real preserved flowers and arrange your own one-of-a-kind piece, whether that’s a gold pressed flower frame or a set of keepsake bookmarks.
By the end of the session, every guest leaves with a finished piece they made themselves. No drying time, no waiting. It’s yours to take home that night.
Upcoming Public Workshops: Pressed Flowers + Wine
We’re thrilled to be partnering with two incredible Pennsylvania wineries for our next public workshops. These are open to anyone. Grab a friend, a group, or just come solo and meet fellow creatives over a glass of wine.

We’re also planning to add another public workshop in late summer or early fall. Follow us on Instagram to be the first to know when we announce the next date and location.
Private Workshops: We Come to You
Some of our most memorable workshops have been private ones, and honestly, those might be our favorite to host.
When you book a private pressed flower workshop with Element, we travel to your location with everything your group needs. All the pressed flowers, all the materials, all the instruction. Your group just shows up and creates. We currently offer two project options for private workshops: pressed flower frames and pressed flower bookmarks.
The Easton Book Club
We recently hosted a group of 19 from the Easton Book Club right here in our Easton studio, and it was one of those nights that reminded us exactly why we love doing this.
The group booked a private bookmark-making workshop, and what made it so special was watching everyone settle into the creative process while doing what book club does best: talking about their latest read. Hands were busy arranging pressed florals into bookmarks while the conversation flowed from chapter highlights to life updates. It was cozy, it was creative, and every single person left with handmade bookmarks they were genuinely proud of.
Barre3 Bethlehem’s 9th Birthday Celebration
We also had the joy of traveling to Barre3 Bethlehem’s studio to help them celebrate their 9th birthday, on the 9th, no less. A group of about 13 gathered after what we can only imagine was an incredible workout, and we set up a bookmark-making workshop right in their space.
There’s something really special about being invited into someone else’s community like that. These were people who already share something meaningful together, and getting to add a creative, hands-on experience to their celebration was an honor. The energy in the room was warm, excited, and genuinely fun.
Why We Love Traveling Workshops
We’ll be honest. Packing up the studio and bringing it somewhere new is one of the most energizing parts of what we do. There’s a different kind of magic that happens when we set up in a space that already has its own community and identity, whether that’s a winery, a fitness studio, a bookshop, or a private home.
We travel within about a two-hour radius of Easton, PA, which means we can reach groups throughout the Lehigh Valley, the Poconos, parts of New Jersey and New York, Philadelphia, and beyond. Wherever your group is, if we can get there, we’d love to come to you.
