July 2022 Meeting

Diane Wright from Portishead Floral Art Society (PFAS) Diane gave two demonstrations of flower arranging. She gave the demonstration the title of “Summer”. Using summer flowers and foliage she produced two examples, the first using a pedestal and oasis and the second some simple arrangements in jars. Marina WI Portishead Diane talked about how she became interested in flower arranging, and where she had gained her knowledge and experience. She has been a member of the Portishead Floral Art Society for 28 years and is now a teacher at the PFAS. Diane gave tips on how to prolong the life of the flowers as she built up the beautiful arrangements. The demonstrations were enlightening and enthralling at the same time. She encouraged everyone to give it a go at home by making simple arrangements in jars using flowers and foliage in season from our own gardens or by using the small pieces from a bunch of flowers we may have received. Diane kindly donated all the arrangements to the Raffle.
