Carolyn Ellis and Cheryll-Anne Lane will be presenting a Pave Workshop and Demonstration.
While a pavé floral arrangement can come in many shapes, its name describes the proximity of the flowers to one another. Pavé is the French word for "paved." Imagine a walkway paved in cobblestones. The stones are fairly small, but set so closely to one another that they form a solid surface. In jewelry, pavé refers to gems that are set very close to one another so that there is very little metal showing, as if the piece has been "paved" with gems. In floral arranging, a pavé arrangement is one where the designer trims off leaves, cuts the stems fairly short and places the flower heads very closely together. Please bring scissors and/or a small pair of clippers with you the the workshop.
