Get excited for the upcoming spring by learning how to make a card stock art at Paper Flower Art: Winter Aconite on Sunday, January 17 from 1-4 p.m. in the Studio.
Instructor Cathy Peters will guide students on using a variety of coloring mediums and shaping techniques to create realistic flowers from card stock, which will stem and tuck into a charming little moss-filled dish. Did you know this charming little flower, a part of the buttercup family, can be found throughout the Allerton grounds, sometimes as early as late January?
