Summer Flower Arranging at Stock Village Hall On Wednesdays from July
25th for five weeks from 2 till 4 pm. Cost: £27.
A new short course for both beginners and those who simply want to up-date
their skills - there’s more to home decoration than just plonking your bunch
into a vase!
We’ll be using flowers and foliage from our gardens where we can augmented
by blooms from the supermarket or florist. Designs will be a mixed
selection: some with a nod to tradition and others more “West End
Contemporary” - experienced students may wish to stray from the norm –
that’s what makes the classes such fun!
There are no exams or assessments, details are given each time for what you
will need to bring along the following week so you’ll just need your
imagination and a little preparation time, plus scissors of course.
For further information or to book please contact the course tutor Eileen
Marsh, on 01245 400554, e-mail:
