Beyond Beginning Design Workshop – Designing with Wood (Wait List Only)
September 6 • 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
Creative Designs often use interesting found objects, such as driftwood, branches covered with lichen, bamboo, etc. to establish the line and create the basic structure that holds the plant material. In this workshop, you will be given a piece of wood or bark (or perhaps you have something at home that you would love to work with). You will be shown the mechanics to stabilize the wood and how to attach plant material to it to make an interesting, Creative Design.
Included is a lecture, followed by a hands-on workshop, and critique. Critiques are done in small groups by the instructor and other accredited judges to aid participants in improving their design skills. The cost per session of $40 covers all materials. (The design pictured is not the design that will be made.)
