Workshop Description

Let's Make Things with Nature

We will get our hands a bit dirty and make some flower vessels from, twigs, moss, leaves and other things found in nature. We will mix wire, string and other subtle fasteners to create a pot to use for cut flowers or a plant. We will also look at ideas for pressing flowers to make fun designs observing colour and texture.
