Floral Design: Designing with Natural Materials
April 7, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Each week we study the form, shape, texture, size, colouring and characteristics of a natural element to discover new ways it can be used. Join Margaret Taylor in this hands-on program. Each week a different natural material – wood, branches, foliage and fruit and vegetables – will take centre stage. These elements have always been included in arrangements but here we will make them the stars of the show! We will study their forms and shapes, textures, sizes, colouring and characteristics to discover the new and exciting ways they can be used. Join us on this journey of discovery. Materials extra.
Thursdays, April 7 through 28, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Public $200, TBG Member or Volunteer $160 (plus fees + HST)
