One decorator was amused to be told this year that one of her wreaths was an upscale version of FTD, and no offense was taken since the design mirrored the customer’s request. However, by and large, no one could ever look at one of our wreaths and mistake it for something ordered on line or over the phone from a national chain. The country-sophisticated design below is a case in point.
This three day Wellesley College Botanic Gardens class on January 10 – 12 from 9:30 – 3:30 with Lara Call Gastinger will examine the process of composing collected subject matter and using sepia paint to document them in a painting that can tell a rich story. We will explore how mindful collection and assembly can change the way we look at objects. We will be using seed pods and dried winter specimens as our inspiration. Snow day Saturday, January 13 if needed. Friends of Wellesley Botanic Gardens $340, nonmembers $415. To register call 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
