Sarah is known for her wild, overgrown yet intentional design and inspired by the sessions. Her design philosophy will be discussed as the underlying structure to her design. See how Sarah brings both wild natural beauty and intentional design to create something breathtaking and unique.
One on One classes with Sarah focus on the specific needs of each student as a growing artist. The classes are catered to each student individually. With class options from all inclusive 2 days, full 1 day and half day options, each class is designed for your level of ability and investment. Just looking to solidify your bouquet or centerpiece making skills? Then the half day is just for you. Wanting to learn large floral instillations and business how-to's, the full day class is for you. Wanting a full portfolio build and intensive floral training, then the 2 day is for you!
All classes include supplies needed and professional photos of your work. Don’t need professional photos? No problem! We can cut those and remove $100 from the cost of the class. Just let us know.
*All classes taught from a place of sustainability first: SELVA has been, from its start, focused on sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Included in our classes are a breakdown of our daily environmentally conscious practices, which include foam-free designs, composting, re-using materials, seasonality etc.
