Walk into the Urban Ladder store on the 2nd of June for an engrossing workshop on making paper flowers. Picture a riot of colors. The crisp snip, snip! of scissor through the paper. Gorgeous, vibrant flowers taking shape, one petal at a time. If you're thinking that sounds like fun - you're right, and you should be there!

Want to hazard a guess as to how old this craft is? 100 years? 200? Way off the mark there. Paper flowers have been around for at least 2000 years. Originally used as religious offerings, they made a big comeback in the Victorian era, as substitutes for out-of-season flowers. And if you haven't noticed already, oversized paper flowers are very in at the moment.

At this workshop, facilitators from Bloom & Grow will guide you through this craft form. They'll provide raw material, ideas, and inspiration. And at the end of two hours, you'll walk away with beautiful big, 12 by 12 inches (Yea, they are really BIG) flowers to decorate your home with. So come over and learn yourself this nifty little craft. We promise a Saturday morning well spent!
