Hellebore Class

[Thank you Amy for running our photo booth again!]

We had a great class on Saturday - we worked with some achingly beautiful hellebores. The cut hellebores have been so fragile this year, so we brought in hellebore plants and had students cut right from them...the results are magnificent! We were so happy with this class...next week we have our vampy-valentine class which I'm stupidly giddy about. Making a special mix tape for it as I type this...
