Description of project: Each participant will make one holiday centerpiece using a candlestick holder base (provided by the participant), floral oasis, and a combination of live, dried, and natural decorations. By switching out some decorations, the centerpiece can last from Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day.

Amount of time, number of sessions: This workshop can be accomplished in one of two ways.
1. Peg brings all needed supplies (except for candlestick holders) and some basic materials. She leads the group on an outdoor walk of the neighborhood/area, where they will collect materials to be used in the centerpiece. This option is preferred, and requires a total of 3 hours for gathering materials and making the centerpiece. Participants should bring a pair of clippers or garden shears if possible.
2. Peg brings all needed supplies and materials (except for candlesticks). This option requires a total of 90 minutes to make the centerpiece.

Blackout periods – months or times during which you cannot do this. No workshops in September or October. This workshop is most appropriate for mid-November to mid-December.

Number of participants and suitable age ranges: This class is appropriate for adults, and for children aged 7 and up. Family groups are welcome, and can choose to make one centerpiece per person or per family. Minimum/maximum group size: 6-15 people.

Location of program/project: This project requires table space in an area that can get a bit messy, and access to water. Depending on the size of the group, it can be done in a basement, heated garage, large kitchen, church hall, etc.
Cost: Cost for option 1: $25/person. Cost for option 2: $40/person. Includes travel, preparation, supplies and materials (see options).
Payment options: Cash or personal check
Other Notes: Regardless of option chosen, a minimum of 3 weeks advance notice required.
