Helen led a workshop demonstrating, One arrangement using Two or more Containers

Our November workshop was held on Sunday 10th November in the Hall at Khandallah Presbyterian Church. Helen lead an interesting workshop demonstrating, One arrangement using Two or more Containers. She guided members with the following suggestions:

There are several textbook arrangements using 2 or more containers: Book 2, lessons 17, 18 and 19 and Book 3, lesson 4.

We usually look for containers that match in shape or size for this, but challenge yourself to use containers of different shapes and sizes, or perhaps use one of the containers as a sculptural element rather than a vase for flowers. The material in each container can be used to co-ordinate or contrast the containers.
