About this event

  • 2 hours

From sunflowers in Ukraine, to poppies in Palestine, and the ubiquitous olive branch, this workshop will explore flowers as symbols of freedom across cultures. Join artist Yannik Stevens who will teach how to make individual bouquets using different flowers that have come to represent cries for freedom through various wars, political conflicts and social movements, which you can then take to your own calls to action or add to your altars of peace.
