After a demonstration of floral techniques and mechanics, you will design your own pieces. You will hone your artistic talents, and will be encouraged to listen to your intuition and further your own vision. Classes are limited to four students to ensure valuable individual attention.
Dates: Monday July 11, Tuesday July 12, Wednesday July 13
Time: 9am til 4pm (1 hour lunch break)
Where: At Françoise’s Studio
Cost: $900 – A 50% deposit is requested to reserve your space; the balance is due by June 6th.

Monday, April 4th, 2011Woodland Demo at the Yard, Garden and Patio Show
Thursday, February 24th, 2011Last November, HPSO extended an invitation to do a demonstration of woodland arrangements at the Yard, Garden and Patio Show this past weekend. It was time to put on that extroverted hat again!
It seemed like a good idea to make 3 sample arrangements ahead of time. A huge thank you to Ted Mishima for taking these wonderful photos in my back yard, before heading to the Convention Center.
And many thanks to Nancy Goldman for offering this opportunity!
