103 Card Making Workshop ~ Pressed Dried Flowers

You'll have a card for any occasion.  In this workshop create beautiful botanical images using dried flowers fresh from our flower presses.  Using guided composition skills, arrangement and pasting techniques as well as some paper manipulation and juxtapositioning, you'll create lovely bouquets, wreaths or design images sure to touch and warm the heart of any recipient. Through exploration and careful arranging, you'll be making beautiful images for your cards.  We have Ooodles of flowers to choose from, and 100s of ways to help you create, emote and express.  Each one is a unique expression and personal "hello".  Some will even be framable and collectable.    

" I know what care, time, energy and effort goes into picking, pressing and preserving flowers.  I'm so touched to have received such a personal and meaningful card.  I'm going to frame it today !"  Recipient of a card by an NBACE student.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
