Creative Flower Design
[PG09F22] Margaret Taylor
During the 1960's, the breaking of traditions and the quest for freedom was apparent even in floral design. Rather than repeating the formulae for flower arrangements from the past, designers began to experiment with the use of space, colour, rhythm, proportion, balance, contrast and dominance. The result was an outpouring of new types of creative designs - parallel, satellitic, synergistic, underwater and duo designs among others. Join us to learn more about this fun and exciting period in floral design! Please bring a bagged lunch.

Basic Flower Design
[PG09F23] Margaret Taylor
This basic course is for you if you want to learn more about how to create beautiful flower arrangements. We will learn classic designs (line designs for entrance ways and side tables) as well as classic mass designs (which really make a statement) and a variety of other designs based on a traditional application of the principles and elements of design. In each class, you will learn about plant material, botanical names, containers, mechanics and all the techniques needed to create a beautiful floral design to take home. No experience necessary.
Tuesdays, November 3 through 17,
6:30 to 9:30 p.m. (3 sessions)
Public $120 / Members $110
