Congratulations, Sofia, on your new employment with Heavy Petal Floral

We are excited for both of you, in this opportunity to serve your community, apply what you are learning in school and be a team player.

Best to you-

Meet Sofia, our newest floral designer and team member. Her first couple weeks have been such a joy, and we are so grateful she’s here.

Sofia found her way to floral design through community, which honestly might be my favorite thing about her. She’s spent three years serving in youth ministry at Eagle Brook Church in Anoka, and she says serving others is what makes life count. ❤️

When she’s not designing, you can usually find her outdoors. She loves to hike and spend time with family. Her favorite flowers are ranunculus and snapdragons, a girl after our own heart!

She’s currently studying at K&D Institute Of Floristry, working toward her PFD certificate, and her creativity is already shining through! Pictured here is her original design, “Tidal Wave,” now available at www.heavypetalfloral.com.

Welcome to the team, Sofia. We’re so thankful for your heart for service and your gift for this craft.

Create an autumnal sustainable European floral design using a drill, wood, wire and beauties.
In this intermediate course, we will explore the classic cylinder silhouette. Transparency, balance, and tension are also played with in this composition.
The mechanics for this design will inspire many, many more sustainability arrangements and structures that can be reused.
In addition to your normal tools, please bring a cordless drill and 2mm bits
All other products will be provided.
