i is coming to Koehler & Dramm on Tuesday evening, January 29. There will be active booths located around Koehler & Dramm. What the term active booths means that someone will be in all of these designated areas showing products, and how to use them, new design styles and procedures, care and handling procedures, flowers, lots of activity.
We here at K&D know that your time in precious, so we have gathered many professionals in one place to talk to, ask questions, ask them to show you how to do a technique.
We have our Professional and Student Design Competitions. Take a chance, sign up to be a finalist in the Professional Division.There will be 6 finalists judged by professional trained judges. These finalists will compete on the Main Stage at The Minneapolis Home and Garden Show. The winner will b announced at that time.
The Student Design Competition will be judged that evening, the winners announced and awarded their prizes.
Several have e mailed , called and spoken with me to ask which one they are eligible for. If you are a student, then the student. If you own or have worked with flowers for years, sign up for the professional. If you are a professional, but still think you are in the beginning stages, choose.The main thing is to stretch yourself. Put yourself in the category that you will learn the most from, after all that is part of what this is all about...learning.
Every design is growth.
Another concern is will people know who designed the arrangement. The only person that knows is Cheryl as she receives the entries, gives each a number. From that point on no one knows names or shop names or anything about the designer. After the judging the winners and finalists numbers and names are connected. At no time is a name placed on an entry. If you want any one to know, you will be the one to tell them.
Remember after the competition gather and read your evaluation forms. The judges will write learning comments on the sheets.
Sign up today.
