Tuesday October 21 – Woodland Arrangements

In this workshop you will learn the mechanics behind creating textural and detailed designs that will expand the way you think about flowers. This workshop offers practical, hands-on experience that will further develop your own skills and increase your confidence to explore outside the box. After a demonstration of techniques and mechanics, you will design your own centerpiece and log arrangement using foliage, bark, berries, seedpods, twigs, mushrooms, herbs and some flowers.
You will hone your artistic talents and will be encouraged to listen to your own intuition and further your own vision. We’ll also talk about the intricacies of sourcing, ordering and pricing flowers.

Testimonial:

Françoise’s Woodland Botanical workshop exceeded my expectations in every way especially since it was something I had never done before.  She is so warm and easy to relate to and her humble expertise is amazing.  In two full days, I felt that I learned so much that I will surely use in the future.  All five participants were very sad to say goodbye to Françoise and each other.
VERY successful workshop that I highly recommend to anyone!
