Intro to Floral Design ll

We will continue to explore the principles and elements of floral design in this 2nd portion of Basic Floral Design using the tools given in Part 1.  Students will be shown different techniques applied to floral design and will again have hands on experience using fresh material and interesting supplies.  Each week the instructor will focus on a specific theme, principle, or element.  The class will then have an opportunity to demonstrate their version of that design.  Materials fee of $125 total payable to the instructor via cash or check.  Ms. Mattson is accredited as an American Institute of Floral Design member (10 hours) $99
