You will learn a multitude of wonderful techniques and be filled to the brim with inspiration. Don't miss the fun!

In This Garden

Saturday, April 4th @ 1:00pm

Our very own uber talent - Denise Lombardozzi - is once again being published!!
"In This Garden" has arrived and we want to give the book the warm welcome it deserves. Pick up a signed copy and join us for a garden-y workshop. Denise will delight with a technique laden garden "gate" that can also double as a luminary. Don't miss this opportunity (I was going to say once in a lifetime, but I think we both know that Denise will be published again...). However, this is a unique chance to get some great behind the scenes tricks of the trade and learn from a true artist. She won't leaf you hanging... ;)

Cost: $50
What to bring: we will be supplying everything, however, if you'd like to bring some small images for the centers of the flowers you can certainly do that (or you could add them later at home). Do bring the basic tool kit.
