Create your own paper crocus plant at Paper Flower Art: Crepe Paper Crocus Bulbs on Sunday, February 21 from 1-4 p.m. in the Studio.
Led by Cathy Peters, students will create a complete crocus plant—from the roots and bulb to the delicate petals—while exploring the unique properties and versatility of crepe paper.
Students will learn techniques for coloring and shaping realistic petals, and constructing a life-like bulb with detailed roots. The finished crocus will be displayed in a vintage creamer, allowing the realistic roots to show!

About the instructor:
Cathy Peters love for nature has guided her to the amazing realm of paper art and flowers. She has discovered that this medium is about geometry, dimensions, and modeling—the perfect pairing of science and art
As she continues her journey towards perfecting artistic, realistic paper flowers, she has found it rewarding to share what she has learned with others.
