A few weeks back I taught my 'Fascinators and Vintage Flowermaking' class as a summer school. Four lovely days of making. Students learnt to work with new materials such as cotton organdie and silk, made wired bases, alongside learning some traditional 1920s flowermaking techniques.
Students make these amazing wired roses from stiffened silk.
Using heated irons they curled and heat set the flower petals.
Students painted their own organdie on day 3 giving them a real chance to create a personal colour palette from which to work with when it came to personal projects.
Such a delightful and creative group!
