garden on a plate workshop



This time of autumn is a quiet time of turning inward, of putting gardens to rest, of a bleak beauty, but if we look closely there are still bursts of brave life waiting for a little acknowledgment. On Saturday, we had a great time poking around in the garden looking for ferns, moss, tufts of grass,and anything that caught our eye. Michelle, our plant expert told us lots of interesting info on what would grow indoors. She also brought cones, mosses, a wasp nest and a whole collection of cool stuff. After digging around outdoors, we came into the studio to compose our gardens in all manner of odds and ends of plates, bowls, planters, cups, and whatever was lying around.Everyone had a good time and went home with at least one garden on a plate.
