“Lots of wow in the Beach Week unbox­ing! Kai was excit­ed to see you wrote him a note inside the box. He is fas­ci­nat­ed by the sand dol­lar, tilland­sia and sun print, and thought every­thing was cool inside.”

Your Living Art Guides: Kit & Casey

This camp fits right into many S.T.E.A.M cur­ricu­lums, too! As small busi­ness own­ers and design­ers of flow­ers for lux­u­ry clients like Chanel, BMW, and Lexus, we use sci­ence to keep our flow­ers fresh and last a long time in the vase. We need tech­nol­o­gy to run our busi­ness and work as our own IT experts with our mar­ket­ing web­site and account­ing pro­grams. We engi­neer new struc­tures for clients every week with saws, drills, and mus­cle.  Mak­ing pret­ty art with flow­ers at a prof­it is not pos­si­ble with­out strong math skills. We use math every day when plac­ing orders for fresh flow­ers and plants and mak­ing sure we have enough sup­plies to see us through each client’s order. The skills of S.T.E.A.M. are essen­tial for us and we’ll pass on those skills to you — whether you are a par­ent, kid or flower enthu­si­ast dur­ing our week­ly Liv­ing Art Camps!
