Event Description
Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop brings a little creativity to the holiday preparations at Pop Over Eatery in downtown Mystic on Monday, November 23. From 6 to 7 p.m., local floral expert Michelle Duthrie will guide participants through the process of creating a Thanksgiving floral centerpiece to display on their holiday table.
The workshop includes the flowers, a lantern, refreshments, and snacks, giving guests the materials they need for an evening of hands-on floral design. Tickets start at $105 per person, with registration available through Pop Over Eatery.
Make Something Special for the Thanksgiving Table
A Thanksgiving table often comes together one detail at a time. The good dishes come out of the cupboard, napkins are folded, and someone finds a place for the centerpiece between the turkey platter and the mashed potatoes.
This year, participants can create that centerpiece themselves.
Under Michelle Duthrie’s guidance, guests will learn how to arrange flowers into a seasonal display suitable for their Thanksgiving celebration. The workshop combines fresh floral materials with a lantern, offering a decorative element that can become part of the holiday table.
Rather than purchasing a ready-made arrangement, participants will have the opportunity to work with the flowers and assemble their own creation.
The experience also offers a chance to learn directly from a local floral professional, gaining a better understanding of how individual flowers and decorative elements can come together in a finished arrangement.
A Creative Evening Before Thanksgiving
The workshop takes place just three days before Thanksgiving, making it a timely activity for anyone preparing to host family or friends.
It’s also an opportunity to enjoy a different kind of evening out during a week often filled with grocery shopping, cooking, and last-minute preparations.
Participants can spend an hour working with flowers, enjoying refreshments, and sharing the experience with others.
The organizer is providing the lantern, flowers, snacks, and refreshments, so guests won’t need to shop separately for those materials.
The event is centered on floral design rather than a full meal or cooking demonstration.
An Evening at Pop Over Eatery
Located at 24 East Main Street, Pop Over Eatery is a familiar downtown Mystic destination for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.
The restaurant is particularly known for its freshly baked popovers, served with a variety of sweet and savory fillings. Its menu also features breakfast favorites, creative sandwiches, specialty coffees, and other casual café offerings.

For this special Monday evening, the restaurant will host the Thanksgiving workshop, bringing together seasonal flowers, holiday decorating, and refreshments in one gathering.
Learn From Floral Expert Michelle Duthrie
The workshop will be led by Michelle Duthrie, identified by the organizer as a local floral expert.
She’ll demonstrate how to construct a Thanksgiving centerpiece and guide guests through the arrangement process.
The event announcement does not specify the flower varieties, centerpiece dimensions, or exact design, leaving those details for participants to discover during the workshop.
