Classes
I offer classes occasionally on flower arranging, wreath making, or growing and drying flowers.
The following photographs follow a class in the arranging process for a small one-sided basket.
|
|
First select the basket and fill with floral foam.
|
|
|
Next add the filler, in this case dusty miller. Also hide the foam with some moss.
|
|
|
Then add some of the primary elements in this case celocia cristata in a deep pink.
|
|
|
Then add some contrast in this case some anaphalis.
|
|
|
Now fill in the rest with a variety of shapes and forms such as yellow yarrow,
yellow straw flowers, grey poppy seed pods and some pink gomphrena.
|
|
| Finish with some silver artemisia "Silver King" and you have a
finished basket.
|
|
| You will need a large work table.
|
|
| Tools you will need.
|
|
| A selection of baskets you could use.
|
|
| Ribbons are useful for swags and wreaths.
