Host:
Illinois State Florists' Association

Botanical Headpieces: Saturday and Sunday: 9-11:30 am - Saturday & Sunday
Learn to construct flexible armatures and your creativity expands as you build intricate and cascading arrangements from foliage, bark, bundles of berries, succulents, and flowers. Dramatic headpieces show off all the tools and tips of the trade that Françoise imparts.

Botanical Jewelry: Saturday and Sunday: 2-5 pm - Saturday & Sunday
Botanical materials have all the sparkle, movement, and gesture of gems and metals. Learn to innovate jewelry design using wire as a base for rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Piece together the tiny and often overlooked bits of texture occurring in seedpods, tendrils, succulents, herbs, and tropical greenhouse favorites. These adornments stun at galas, weddings, and on the catwalk.
