We are already seeing signs that fall is on the way. Apples are heavy in the orchards; plants and weeds are putting out their seed pods, looking ahead to next year. Join me in looking ahead to fall and winter by collecting those pods, pinecones, rose hips, and other treasures of nature and use them to build a della Robbia Wreath. These wreaths are inspired by the 18th century engravings and sculptures of a wreath made up of nature’s bounty. They can be hung on the door or placed on a mantle or tabletop. I will be leading 2 make-and-take workshops in October. Sunday, October 17th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm our workshop will be for adults and kids. Wednesday, October 20th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm will be a workshop just for adults. I will show you how the wreath can be adapted for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. This is a great project for kids to start collecting materials for now. They can even add a special “treasure” or two of their own. Space will be limited so call 561-7450 to register soon and start collecting your supplies:
· Pinecones
· Seed pods
· Dried flowers
· Fruit pits
· Okra pods
· Milkweed pods
· Crabapples
· Feathers
· Nuts
· Acorns
· Anything you find attractive that is from nature
· Supply list will be provided before class
