“Assemblage Design: Transforming Everyday Objects into Floral Art”
Cindy is an accredited Flower Show Judge and an enthusiastic collector of unusual objects. Welcome to a creative journey where the ordinary becomes extraordinary! Assemblage Design is a dynamic art form that transforms everyday objects—found in your garage, kitchen, or thrift store—into innovative works of art. By combining “found” items with plant material, you’ll create three-dimensional compositions that push the boundaries of traditional floral design. This presentation will guide you through the essentials, showing how resourcefulness and imagination can turn familiar materials into captivating art.
