Led by Karey Bancroft

Event Highlights

Hands-On Polaroid Printing

Participants learned how Karey composes and captures her floral imagery using vintage-inspired tools and modern-day techniques. Each guest had the opportunity to create their own prints using real flowers and Polaroid film.

Mixed Media Enhancements

After printing, guests enhanced their photos with colored pencils and fine art materials—blending photography and illustration into a personal, layered work of art.

A Stunning Floral Setup

Freshly arranged blooms were used as inspiration throughout the session, adding color, texture, and seasonal beauty to the workshop environment.

Cozy, Inspiring Venue

Special thanks to Sorella Coffee for sharing their stunning upstairs loft. The natural light, warm tones, and quiet ambiance made it the perfect space for a creative morning.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and made this workshop such a special experience. Thank you to Karey Bancroft for sharing her creative process and to Sorella Coffee for graciously hosting us in your beautiful space.
