Floral Design
Intro to Floral Design
We will cover the principles and elements of Floral Design, as well as fresh flower
care and handling. A hands-on workshop will be included in each class session. All
flowers, materials, and tools will be provided you can take home each project. While
this is more of an educational program, the atmosphere is casual and the material
we’ll work with is lovely. We’ll use a different combination of florals each week.
Topics covered: Harmony and Unity; Proportion and Scale; Rhythm and Emphasis; Balance
and Symmetry. An additional materials fee of $100 (cash or check) is required, payable to the instructor
at the first class. Class is taught by floral designer, Cindy Mattson of Given Erwin
Florist. (10 hours) $99
Fall Dates TBD
