Jane Howells brought in a sample of her cassia tree along with some seeds.
Our instructor for today is Penny Decker. She will be teaching Class 1 – Traditional Design – Straight Line.
Penny demonstrated a few beautiful floral arrangements using the Traditional Design technique.
She also gave a few helpful tips:
- If you use a white container, you must use some white flowers, or it will not look right.
- Bright color is a big factor in design.
- She went over a few necessary items you should have in your tool kit.
After a short break the class made their own arrangements and when they were finished, they were critiqued by the instructor and the class. A great job on all arrangements.
Our second class will be held on Tuesday, October 21st. Class 2 will be about conditioning your plant material and flowers.
Meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
