Harvest Flower Crown Workshop
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
In the spring, making flower crowns is a joyous way to celebrate the return of life to the world after a long cold winter, but in the fall, they help us celebrate nature's bounteous fertility. In this class, you'll learn how to make the traditional Scandinavian-style flower crown with a base of interwoven fresh green birch branches. With various colorful flowers, leaves and berries to choose from, the exact crown style you make is up to you and your imagination. In addition to birch branches and flowers, wire cutters and pruning shears will be provided and shared among participants. If you have your own wire cutters or pruning shears and wish to bring them, feel free to do so.
Meet your instructor, Christine Beaulieu:
Christine Beaulieu has been making flower crowns with great joy since early childhood when they were part of her school's annual May Day celebrations. Christine's Danish heritage brought her into the Nordic Northwest community shortly after she came to Portland for college. One of her favorite ways of being involved in the Nordic community here has been growing the Flower Area at the Oregon Midsummer Festival, with a personal mission of ensuring every guest who attends and wants to make a flower crown can do so.
