“Interpreting Paintings with Floral Arrangements”
Speaker: Trish Manfredi, FGCCT Judges Council Chair
An artist creates with a purpose in mind. Sometimes it is obvious to the viewer and sometimes it is not. Join Trish as she walks us through some of the fine points of interpreting art with flowers.
OPEN MEETING, Guest donation $10.00
Program: Kate Dixon
Floral Arrangement: Marj Johnson
Tea sandwiches, cookies and beverages will be served.
Please bring your clippers.
Please bring flower cutters.
Francine Austin and Meg Griffin will lead the children in making a Valentine floral arrangement. We look forward to seeing you. Please RSVP to Margaret at mpulito@gmail.com. All committee members are encouraged to participate in the fun.
Please bring your clippers and some greens such as boxwood, if you have any, for filler. Pines might look too much like Christmas.
