Last month, Alison Ellis hosted a great workshop at her favorite venue, The Round Barn, in Waitsfield,VT. Hitomi Gilliam taught her simple approach to structural techniques for bouquets and installations, Alison Ellis and Phebe Higgins taught business strategies, from website tips to the power of social media. I shared mechanics on how to make framed woodland designs and botanical fascinators. We could not have done it without the fabulous support of Lori Bley of The Hidden Daisy and Sarah Jo of Creative Muse. Many students had traveled from far away to attend this informative and fun workshop. Many thanks to photographer Isora Lithgow for the beautiful pictures. And we could not have had better accommodations and food at the Round Barn.
