Another new designer, the daughter of one of our Past Presidents, came one day to help out, and designed the indoor wreath below. The customer asked for a cream bow and all natural accents – the very fancy silk brocade bow is offset by feathery miscanthus flowers, lotus pods, milkweed pods, and pearls. We are happy she subsequently joined the Garden Club!
Following a brief review of the Crowquille pen’s basic techniques, Carol Ann Morley encourages you to bring classic sophistication and grace to your pen and ink illustrations. Move beyond beginning stipple to create texture and tone with hatch and cross hatch. Through the study of selected pieces by master illustrators and the practice of recreating sections of those works, find the confidence to effectively apply these techniques to your own pen work. Some drawing and dip pen skill advised (but it’s also a great way to polish up your dip pen skills!) This Wellesley College Botanic Garden class takes place Friday, January 10 – Sunday, January 12 (snow date Monday January 13) from 9:30 – 3:30. Wellesley Friends $250, nonmembers $300. For complete information, call 781-283-3094, or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
