GARDEN TO VASE 22-23 May
GARDEN TO VASE 22-23 May
SOLD OUT
This garden-to-vase workshop covers the core skills required to create a range of naturalistic arrangements. You will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and variety of garden flowers through their organic forms, textures and colours, to learn about the plants our flowers come from and to reject hierarchy, making arrangements with everything from buttercups to peonies.
The end of May in the cutting garden marks the transition to early summer. As the spring bulbs fade, we welcome the sight of stately alliums, colourful streaked irises, blossoming branches, deliciously scented sweet peas, the first of the roses and much much more!
Two days are organised into four sessions:
Garden hand-tied bouquet
Flowers for the table
Scalable vase design
Free-style creative session
You can expect:
Clear demonstrations of practical techniques
In-depth examination of seasonal ingredients, including how they were grown, cut and conditioned
Exploration of design theory including colour, shape and texture
Relaxed open group discussions on a variety of topics from gardening to event work
Friendly and constructive feedback on your work
