Classes & Workshops
Get Creative in the Hudson Valley
At Witch Hazel we slow down and make beautiful things with our hands. Jill worked in fragrance and beauty at Chanel before opening the shop, and Witch Hazel has been teaching pressed flower art and floral design in the Hudson Valley since 2022.
We offer a rotating schedule of public workshops throughout the year, so check our Eventbrite page for what's currently available. Every workshop can also be booked privately for groups of 6 or more, year-round, regardless of what's on the public calendar. No prior experience needed. All materials are included.

Pressed Flower Art
1–1.5 hours · $85 per person
Our most popular workshop. You'll press fresh flowers using a keepsake mini press, then use our collection of previously pressed botanicals to create framed wall art (4x6"). Meditative, absorbing, beautiful. You don't have to consider yourself a "creative type" to get really into this.
Custom Bouquet Workshop
1.5–2 hours · $95 per person
You'll learn actual technique, not a template. Jill designs florals for weddings across the Hudson Valley, and the same instincts show up here: unexpected color, texture, and a bit of asymmetry. You'll leave with something that looks like you made it, not like you bought it.
What People Use This For
- Bachelorette parties
- Bridal showers
- Birthdays
- Corporate team events
- Weekends away in the Hudson Valley

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book?
At least four to six weeks. Dates fill quickly, especially on weekends.
What's included?
All materials, instruction, and a finished creation to take home. Bring your own drinks and snacks if you'd like them.
What if my group is smaller than six?
That's fine. The six-person pricing minimum still applies, since we source materials and hold the studio either way.
Can you accommodate larger groups?
Yes — reach out and we'll discuss what's possible.
Where are you located?
109 South William Street, Newburgh, NY 12550. About 90 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. We also travel locally for offsite classes.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Most people who take these have never done anything like them before.
