The new class schedule for the spring/summer classes is up on my website.

https://www.francoiseweeks.com/classes/am-sched.html

You will learn how to utilize the bounty of the Willamette Valley, whether from backyard gardens,  the local farmer’s market or the grocery. Classes emphasize readily-available materials and common household items to create one-of-a-kind arrangement that are an expression of your unlimited creativity and ingenuity. These classes will change the way you look at your own garden, our abundant landscape and the world around you. Please call early to reserve your place!(503-236-5829).

The hands-on classes are limited to 8 students per class and are conducted at my studio – 2754 SE 33rd Place, Portland, OR 97202. Prices include flowers, supplies, use of tools, and best of all, your creation goes home with you! Receipt of your payment for the full tuition secures your place in the class.

If you would like to schedule a special class for a group of friends to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions, you can request times on weekends, weekdays or evenings.
