Please sign up for a Creative Underwater Floral and Light Arrangement Workshop on January 21!
Nothing is better in the depths of the gloom of the winter than arranging flowers! In that spirit, the Floral Design Committee will be holding a “Creative Underwater Floral and Light Arrangement” workshop. The session will focus on arranging materials underwater lit with an underwater tea light. We hope you can participate!
We will meet via Zoom on January 21, 2021 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. We ask that you provide the flowers and/or greens, a clear glass vase and optional transparent stones, glass beads and/or a flower-arranging frog. The committee will provide you with a tea light, a list of suitable materials, places were you can still get flowers and arrangement instructions. There are many examples of submerged light floral designs on the internet to inspire you. During the Zoom session, there will be instructions, as well as time to create and share your arrangement. Attendance is free.
Please sign up by January 7, 2021 texting Nancy Lemega-Watt at 860.944.3122 or emailing her at nlemegawatt@yaol.com. Please call Nancy or Charlotte Massie (860.561.1616) if you have questions.
