Classes Hosted by Studio Choo on May 18


Alathea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo of  Studio Choo invited me to  teach a couple of hands-on classes in their studio on May 18th! I am so thrilled to meet them and to have the opportunity to teach in their beautiful space. You can sign up for one or both classes; you’ll learn a lot of mechanics and will get to choose from an exquisite palette of flowers and textures to create your own  designs!

The studio is located at:

339 Baden Avenue
South San Francisco, CA 94080

Class size is limited to 15 students! Create and keep your designs.
Tools will be provided for use in class.

Woodlands:

Sunday May 18, from 9 am-noon

Here you’ll begin to see your surroundings in a whole new light. A piece of bark, a log, driftwood, wooden disk or branches can all become bases for the unique structures we will be creating. In this class you will make a beautiful arrangement using rich foliage, bark, berries, seedpods, twigs, mushrooms, herbs and some flowers. We’ll discuss texture, form, ideas and mechanics.

Botanical Couture:

Sunday May 18 from 1:30-4:30

Put your inner fashionista on display! Lush and vibrant or simple and elegant, the elements used all add up to create a unique headpiece. After fashioning a basic form that can be bent or shaped, your creativity will be called upon to construct a stunning spring accoutrement to your unique outfit.
