Floral  Tides 

10-16 May

with Vivi (Vivko Studio) & Otti

Picture this...

You wake up with salty air coming through the windows. Breakfast is already on the table. Flowers are waiting; some grown, some foraged, some half-wild. Each morning begins with a fully guided, hands-on workshop focused on a different technique, format, or material exploration. Some days hold one longer immersive session; others may include two shorter guided workshops. Mornings are for making. Afternoons are intentionally open; time to rest, gather materials, refine your work, swim, walk the dunes, or simply do nothing. Evenings are for long tables, shared meals, and relaxed moments around a fire pit with S'mores  .

Vivi & Otti share their approach to flower arranging: thoughtful, natural, a little playful.

What you’ll learn, create & take with you
Inspired by this coastline — dunes, driftwood, pebbles, wild edges — we’ll work with what’s in season and build skills you can use again and again.

Across the week you’ll explore:

  • Composition — colour relationships, texture, balance, scale, and visual storytelling

  • Working with varied materials — flowers, fruit, foliage, branches, and found natural objects

  • Seasonal harvesting & foraging — how to gather responsibly and design with what’s available

  • Care & conditioning — pro techniques for longevity and mechanics

  • Wearable florals — crowns and small sculptural pieces

  • Atmospheric table styling — immersive dinner settings with flowers + natural elements

  • Hanging & suspended installations — structure, mechanics, and spatial design

  • One large-scale shared installation — collaborative, expressive, and site-specific

Floral Tides

Come spend a week with us, following the pace of the land and sea. We’ll forage, harvest, and arrange what’s in season, share what we know, and make beautiful things together — no matter your experience level. Evenings are for farm-to-table meals, wine, and long tables.
