ART ON THE MEADOW - FLOWER ARRANGING WORKSHOP

10:00AM - 1:00PM. Ox-Bow School of Art. This workshop will invite participants to create a living sculpture with florals. We will consider foundational historical styles including Ceremonial Egyptian, Dutch Baroque, and Ikebana and experiment with vessel armature techniques such as wire mesh, pin frog, tape grid, and wet foam. Local and exotic live flowers will be provided to each participant, and after demonstration, arranging, and group discussion, they will take their ephemeral arrangement home. Art of The Meadow: Flower Arranging runs on August 15, from 10-1pm, taught by Maddie Reyna and costs $120. Art on the Meadow is a unique program, providing an intergenerational space for students to come together in the inspiring natural environment at Ox-Bow for half day, one day, or short term multi-day classes. Our workshops are geared toward teen and adult makers of all experience levels, age 13 and up. Art on the Meadow workshops offer participants an opportunity to connect traditional art and craft processes with contemporary ideas and approaches to artmaking. We strive for our workshops to be imaginatively challenging and logistically accessible for our West Michigan neighbors. Come jump into Ox-Bow’s creative community (and maybe even into our beautiful lagoon)!
