DAVID JONES - PART 2

On Wednesday 6 February David entertained us all with his demonstration of floral decoration. He makes it all look so easy, and yet we know it is far from the case. 
We do hope it encourages some of those present to "have a go". Maybe we should have a floral decoration "pop up" competition sometime?
In particular we learnt that using chicken wire, instead of Oasis, is a good way to create your display.
David created two displays, one with spring flowers, and the other with willow.
The Spring Flower arrangement was donated to the raffle. The winner with winnings is pictured below with a selection of other images from the demonstration

WEDNESDAY 6 FEBRUARY - DAVID JONES

Our first Monthly Meeting of 2019 takes place on Wednesday 6 February at 8pm in the Red Cross Hall, Oxted.
We are delighted to welcome back flower arranger DAVID JONES, with his almost mesmeric ability to produce a wonderful display as if by magic.
Whats more, the exercise is undertaken in an entertaining manor.
We do hope you will join us.
