Crepe Paper Nasturtium Workshop w/ Inga Ilze Peterson

Join paper flower artist Inga Ilze Peterson and learn to craft a lifelike nasturtium vine using German crepe papers, colored card stock, paints, wire and glue. In this workshop, you will learn all the basic skills needed to cut, shape and color your nasturtium flowers and leaves, and assemble all the parts to create a beautiful nasturtium vine with a bendable wire stem. You will leave with a completed vine ready to display on a table, shelf, or mount on a wall. All materials and tools are provided in the workshop, and there will be plenty of time for questions and individual instruction as we build the nasturtium together step by step.
