Description

Need an afternoon of creative, slightly introspective fun? Some creative time with a friend perhaps...with beautiful flowers...where you learn the basics of floral design and watercolor painting? It's fun! It's meditative! It's a good time, I promise! Join me in my flower shop with flowers, paint, a little poetry and yes, wine! This event includes these activities (no experience needed for any part): 1. Flower arranging - We will design a sweet, exquisite arrangement with fresh, bold-colored, unique flowers. Flowers bring me so much joy and I want to share how I highlight them in an arrangement. You will learn about the flowers we use and where they are grown, as well as basic floral design and color theory. 2. Painting - Next, we will paint our florals! Join local artist, Martina Sestakova to learn basic watercolor techniques and sketch and paint from the floral still life you have created. We will also explore how poetry by Mary Oliver, Annie Dillard and Diane Ackerman, may be tied to our understanding of nature, art, and ourselves. At the end of the workshop, you will have completed a series of one-of-a-kind artworks.. To learn more about Martina's work, visit her website: www.radostbymartinasestakova.com She's amazing! Join us for an afternoon of creativity and discovery. You will create a few masterpieces in one sitting to take home with you! Prosecco and/or wine may be involved in the creation of a truly memorable experience! The Kentlands offers places to grab lunch before this activity: come with a friend and/or family member(s). Become friends with strangers! Flower arranging and watercolor painting with a glass (or two!) of wine and snacks...what could be better?? We will bring out the artist in you!
