Preparation for arrangement at Lakeland Art Gallery tomorrow. I have found it is always wise to do prep for big arrangements so that they can be assembled without to much hassle.
Although its in my studio I know the area I'm going to be doing this arrangement and know what space/size working with.
Here is a photo of my prep and will post photo of finished arrangement later.

Hi All,
As no takers for the November class I have taken down this event.
Will look at doing it again in the New Year Starting in February on a Tuesday evening from 6.30 pm to 8.30pm, so if you are interested in learning this art please feel free to contact me before then.
Take care till I post next,
Cheers
Lyn
