Known to gardeners as the queen of climbers, the clematis will add stunning beauty to your crepe paper bouquet. Learn floral papercraft techniques, using different weights of both crepe paper and floral wire, in order to manipulate the paper into different shapes to create each part of the clematis: leaf, petal, pompom, and stem. Enough material is provided to complete six blooms; build on your skills with each creation. The session is open to students of all levels, but some experience with crepe paper is recommended.

Most supplies are provided in a kit to be ordered from the instructor (a supply fee of $30 is included in the workshop price). Supplies are mailed to the address on file at least one week prior to the beginning of class. If you need your supplies mailed to a different address, please email Associates-StudioArts@si.edu. Please order at least one week prior to the class date to allow ample time for delivery.
