Celebrate the return of Spring and May Day with this workshop. Did you know that May Day has its roots in astronomy? Traditionally, it was the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice! People around the world celebrate “Bringing in the May,” by gathering cuttings of flowering branches of forsythia, magnolia, redbud, lilac, or other flowering cuttings.

Here at The Atelier, we celebrate May Day by painting a garden and not having any weeds! At this workshop, you will learn how to paint flowers in either oils or acrylics. Your instructor, Pam Best, is an Atelier Fellow and her floral paintings have won the hearts of many. You can select any or all of these flowers to create your own bouquet to keep or give as a gift.

The cost for this 3-hour workshop on Saturday, May 9th, is $100 per person which includes materials. For your convenience, you may register online https://theatelieratflowerfield.org/workshops or call 631-250-9009 for more information.
