I want to teach you something.

Not a class. Not a “workshop.” Something closer to what happens when someone who has spent fifteen years building arrangements sits beside you and says: here — let me show you how this works.

On April 25, I’m bringing the first Lovely Coven Private Atelier to Tiburon Peninsula Club — a 90-minute guided floral experience for up to 20 guests. It’s intimate. It’s hands-on. And every person who sits down will leave with something they made themselves.

Contemporary Baroque

The design language is what I call contemporary baroque — lush and layered, emotionally alive, but reinterpreted through an edited, modern lens. Movement over stillness. Asymmetry over perfection. Restraint where it counts. Texture everywhere.

Reflexed tulips, ranunculus, hellebore, sculptural branches — each station arrives fully prepared with a curated selection of seasonal florals, professional tools, and everything you need. No setup. No prior experience. Only presence.

The Vessels

This is a story I’ve been wanting to tell.

Dusted in Blue is a small bespoke ceramic studio in the heart of Nob Hill, run by a potter named Sam. Sam personally taught me to throw. The vessels in this atelier are handthrown by Dusted in Blue — each one a direct expression of that collaboration, and each guest takes one home. Not just an arrangement. A lasting object.

A hand-tied bouquet format is also available — the same contemporary baroque aesthetic, immediate and personal. Both deliver the same quality of experience and instruction.

What This Is Really About

I move through the room. I guide each person through form, structure, and placement — the architecture of a composition before the beauty. Every arrangement closes with a final refinement pass, so each guest leaves with a piece that is complete, confident, and home-ready.

You are not assembling flowers. You are learning to see the way I see — and then making something entirely your own.

The Beginning of Something

April 25 is one beginning. My vision is a living, seasonal calendar of ateliers — spring, summer, autumn, winter — each one shaped by what the season brings. Garden-forward blooms in spring. Sculptural foliage in summer. Rich tones and dried elements in autumn. Holiday wreath-making and candlelight in winter.

Private small-group ateliers are also available year-round. If this speaks to you — reach out.

Designed with intention, structure, and quiet beauty. Come make something.
