Well Dressing construction time-line
|
9th January 2012 Planning Group Meeting
Members were joined by Mrs Barbara Hall from Endon who gave a demonstration on the techniques used to create the well dressing at Endon, which must be one of the largest boards. Whole flower heads were used to create the large scale designs, rather than petalling techniques used in smaller designs. Photographs below show members having a go at inserting seeds and flowers into the clay, guided by Barbara and her two helpers. SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO CREATE THE WELL DRESSING PICTURE
