NEW CLASS! Rose & Rust

Color Workshop: Rose and Rust
Saturday, October 29th
1:00-4:00 pm
$265

In this class we'll investigate the nuances of pink; from the saturated berry hues of celosia and cockscomb to the palest heirloom rose. Students will learn how to layer and combine color with flowers to create an ombre effect. Does pink have a better foil than the rich amber and sienna tones of October? We think not! Featured in this class will be the last of the Califonia heirloom roses, pepperberry, autumn fruits, asian pear, sedum, carnations and maybe, just maybe, we'll have some tree peonies too! Open to all levels.

The class will take place in the Saipua studio at 147 Van Dyke St, in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

All classes are limited to 10 students, unless otherwise noted.
Clippers will be provided and are a gift to take with you.
Of course, class will finish with a refreshments.

NEW CLASS! Best of Autumn

Autumn

The Best of Autumn

Sunday, October 16th
1:00-4:00 pm
$265

Autumn, our favorite season for flowers.
When leaves color, field flowers are going great guns and we finally get to play with fruit on the branch, berries, pods and wild grasses. October beckons a range of color palettes from muddy blues and turquoise to opulent plum and warm ochre tones. We'll be bringing in the last of the dahlias in their dinner-plate sized glory, porcelain vine, persimmons, olive, rosehips, amaranth, celosia, pear, and painted fern. Combing fruit, foliage and flower we'll create grand sprawling arrangements using a flower frog in shallow footed urn. This class is open to all levels.


The class will take place in the Nicolette's studio at 50-52 Dobbin St, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
