MARCH 16: “Midolino Belts”

Midolino is made up of long, thin pieces of rattan, which is very flexible and elegant. In this lesson we will make “belts” by laying six pieces of midolino side by side and tying them together with raffia covered wire. The resulting sculpture is a long, flexible ribbon of light wood, which can then be included in any floral design. Two or more “belts” can be strung together to enhance the movement of your arrangement. Bring a container of any style, but one that will be enhanced by the addition of a Midolino sculpture. -This class was previously advertised but cancelled due to illness.
