Each culture has a unique approach to fashioning garlands\, but all cultures value their beauty and make them with care and skill. \nCome join fiber artist Lynn Martin Graton and learn two basic techniques to create fresh garlands for your seasonal celebrations\, weddings\, birthdays and more. The morning session will focus on using a braiding technique with freshly gathered ferns.  The afternoon session will focus on arranging flowers and greens on a core of raffia using a wrapping technique.  \nA selection of ferns and flowers will be provided\, but students are encouraged to bring more to add to the fun.  \nThe most appropriate flowers for this workshop are small with sturdy petals.They include: status\, straw flowers\, alstroemeria\, small chrysanthemums\, small rudbeckia\, miniature roses\, small marigolds\, baby’s breath\, leather leaf ferns\, wildflowers such as Goldenrod and other sturdy greens that can be separated into smaller parts.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nIncorporating fresh materials into a stable\, uniform braid\nIncorporating fresh materials into a stable\, uniform core using a wrapping technique\nDiscussions will focus on: \n\nThe different ways that cultures value and utilize fresh garlands for celebrations\nCultivating a garden for garlands\nResponsible harvesting of natural materials\nSensitivity to varying color and texture using fresh materials\nConsideration of best use of materials for specific occasions\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lynn Martin Graton \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nSmall clippers\nSmall spray bottle for water\nA container or basket to take garlands home\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$15.00 – $25.00 payable at time of workshop \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.
