Lab Fee: 125

Participants will use high quality silk flowers and faux botanicals to create an elegant autumn centerpiece. Imagine this gracing your table: a tapestry of jewel-toned feature flowers, accented with creamy secondary blooms, autumnal foliage, and berries with perhaps a touch of burnished metallics. Your elegant creation will take you into Thanksgiving and right through the holidays when you add faux evergreens, pinecones, glass balls, and other winter touches.

High quality (sometimes each petal is hand painted!) silk flowers are used to create statement pieces at top hotels, restaurants, and other upscale venues world-wide. These materials are more costly than standard faux products, though arrangements may utilize a blend if it doesn’t compromise design. No floral design experience necessary! All botanicals supplied.

Sylvia Sands Paxton, a retired attorney who has enjoyed previous installments of Patricia’s courses, will assist participants during this class.
