Basic Floral Design Workshop

Guelph Horticultural Society is pleased to present a half day workshop on Basic Floral design great for novice designers. Michelle Goff will lead you through the Principles and Elements of Design then focusing on traditional designs such as miniature, small, line design, crescent, water viewing and parallel. Demonstrations of some of traditional designs will be given then participants will be able to try their hand at a crescent design. We then will have a group discussion on the designs. Floral materials will be supplied for the crescent design. If participants can bring a low container with an opening of about 3 inches in diameter, a tuna can glued to a dollar store plate will work. You can paint the can to disguise it i.e. black on a black plate. Also, bring your secateurs, sharp knife or scissors for cutting plant material.
