It's Black and White!

This week my Advanced students were challenged to create a design in Black and White.
While this sounds simple it is actually really hard to create a really strong design because of the green that creeps into the design from stems.
There were some creative solutions including spraying stems and using black or white stem tape.
Our inspiration pictures included Yin and Yang, zebra stripes, refections in black and white photographs, concertina paper decorations, washi tape and many more.
The students really stretched themselves and the range of designs was superb.
Our lessons moved onto Zoom into a virtual classroom as the lockdown took hold so we still have that great feeling of support and friendship that builds in each group and it is lovely to catch up with what everyone has done since the last lesson.
We were all thrilled to be able to celebrate Mala Williams, one of the group, being elected to the board of directors of NAFAS, the UK flower arranging charity.
