SUMMARY:Florals 101 - Ice Queen
DESCRIPTION:It’s Third Thursday a Picket Fence Foundation! Shake off the winter gloom and step into something bright\, sparkling\, and joy-filled with our Ice Queen floral design class. This month’s design is all things frosty elegance: a cool\, modern arrangement that brings a little magic to the heart of January. \n\n\n\nYou’ll work with a stunning palette of icy whites\, frosted blues\, and shimmering silvers\, building an arrangement that feels like it’s been touched by a winter spell. Think white roses and mums\, blue thistle for that icicle-sharp interest\, silver dusty miller for soft and frosty texture\, shimmering branches and glittered accents to add drama\, and an added snowflake pick or decoration to bring the whole design together. \n\n\n\nThis class is relaxed\, hands-on\, and a perfect way to break up the monotony of midwinter. You’ll learn simple techniques for layering texture\, creating dimension\, and making your arrangement feel full and balanced\, all while enjoying a cozy creative hour that feels like a deep breath of fresh air. \n\n\n\nCome play with color\, shake off the seasonal slump\, and leave with a winter centerpiece that practically glows. \n\n\n\n\n\nAt Picket Fence Foundation\, we warmly welcome participants of all ages and abilities. This workshop is designed to be flexible\, supportive\, and accessible\, whether you’re a confident creator or brand-new to florals. \n\n\n\nIf you or your loved one would benefit from a little extra help with snippers\, step-by-step instructions\, or hands-on guidance\, we encourage you to bring along a buddy\, parent\, or support person. We love seeing creating become a shared experience\, and we’re here to make sure everyone feels comfortable\, capable\, and celebrated.
