About this Event

Manipulating foliage is one of the most important techniques in floral design and indispensable in modern, contemporary, and abstract work. Manipulating foliage in a design can create rhythm, interest, impact, and abstraction. In this hands-on course learn how to use techniques like rolling, plaiting, braiding, and boondoggling on leaves such as aspidistra, flax, and palm.

All foliage plant material is provided for this class. A $100 course fee for the foliage material will be paid directly to your instructor. Information on how to submit payment for these materials will be provided prior to the start of your first class.
