In a world driven by technology and fast-paced living, finding moments to reconnect with your creative side is more important than ever. As an art teacher for 8 years prior to, and while growing this wood flower floristry business, I cannot emphasize enough benefits of creating with our hands away from the screens! Plus, as adults, we don't give ourselves enough time to express ourselves and engage in creative play! You heard that right... we need to PLAY.
Enter the enchanting realm of wood flower crafting – a unique and therapeutic experience that can transport you into a world of imagination and self-expression. At North Wood Blooms, I personally invite you to explore the joys of crafting with wood flowers through our engaging DIY workshops. In this blog post, we'll delve into the top five benefits that attendees can reap from participating in our workshops. (And believe me, I could go on for a list of 25, but I didn't think you'd stick with me that long)

Enhanced Creativity: Unleash your inner artist! Engaging in hands-on crafting allows you to step away from the mundane and immerse yourself in a world of colors, textures, and design possibilities. From selecting the perfect wood flower to arranging and decorating, each step is an opportunity to let your creative juices flow freely. Our workshops provide a nurturing environment that encourages you to experiment and have fun doing it.

Stress Relief: Life's daily stresses can take a toll on our well-being. The act of crafting has been proven to have therapeutic benefits, and wood flower workshops are no exception. Once we get into the process of assembling, you'll find yourself lost in the moment, and the outside world will fade away. The soothing repetition of crafting with wood flowers can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
