Join Miranda Wildman and friends to create Floral Festoonery. No art experience is needed for this free, hands-on, springy craft where Miranda will gently guide you in the use of colorful up-cycled, and unique mixed media materials to create floral festoons. Once you learn how to make your own floral festoons you can keep the art party going at home!
Artist Bio:
Growing up in a charming rural ski town nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Vermont, I had the incredible benefit of playing outside frequently, immersing myself in the enchanting magic of each season and its abundance of varied shapes, colors, and textures. I would joyfully create various forms of art alongside my Mother, participate in art classes with enthusiastic teachers and classmates, and collaborate with several friends who shared a passion for trying new things and learning new crafts. Then I went to Portland, Maine, and was surrounded by, inspired b,y and making art with amazing artists and professors in a city by the dynamic sea at Maine College of Art. Back in Vermont, I continued to stay in awe of nature and the seasonal experiences. After living here now for more than half my life, in addition to cherishing those special memories, I find myself deeply inspired by the rich diversity of flora and fauna that grace the majestic mountain peaks and tranquil hollers of Western North Carolina. I am also profoundly grateful for the vibrant creative community I am fortunate to be a part of, both here and beyond, with whom I share precious moments of art-making, exchange thoughts and dreams, and hold close to my heart. Throughout all my experiences in art-making, I have come to realize that it is truly the people we connect with and the planet we inhabit that hold the most significant importance in our lives. Therefore, I wholeheartedly believe that art-making is for everyone. We don’t need to possess special titles, degrees, or credentials to identify ourselves as artists in order to engage in and thoroughly enjoy the art-making process. All we need to do is press the play button. Creating art, particularly together, leads to collective release of inhibitions, a comfortable and festive atmosphere, and a chance for everyone to get a boost of happiness and calm in this fast-paced world with many expectations while connecting over conversation, laughter, and sharing stories. For these reasons, I look forward to the time we make art together!
