Kathleen Hawryluk Design Classes

Here is information provided by our member, Kathleen Hawryluk who is a National Garden Club Judges Design Instructor and an Ikebana, Sogetsu Instructor about a series of classes she is giving.

2022-2023 Season

We have all gone through many trials in the last couple of years but that is all behind us now and we are ready to move forward – with grace and floral beauty!

My home and workshop have been spared damage during Ian and I am planning a series of informative and fun workshops for you. Beginners welcome.

I provide the flowers and greens for all designs and many of the containers.  Some will need more components which will be listed for you. A gentle critique will be given which is where we learn the most!

All workshops will be from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will be limited to 12 participants. A light lunch will be served. If you prefer to bring your own, that will be fine. Bring an apron and a pair of sharp clippers. If there is a demand for more classes, we can schedule more dates. Stay tuned!

Place: 5081 Tamarind Ridge Drive, Naples, FL    34119

Kathleen’s cell: 239-331-0267

Please reply to Kathleen Hawryluk. (kathleenhaw@hotmail.com) All reservations must be accompanied by a $40 check for each class to hold your place- which is refundable if you cancel more than 7 days ahead of the date.

You will be amazed at what you will produce! Lots of Fun too!
