Montalvo Arts Center invites members of the Bay Area to release their creative side with four after-hours classes as part of its Summer Nights Series. Offered for beginners, experts, and all levels of curiosity, the subject of these Summer Arts Classes range from visual arts to cocktail mixology and botanical design. In a relaxed setting where experimentation is encouraged, attendees will enjoy guided instruction from professionals along with light refreshments and wine.
Montalvo kicks off its Summer Arts Classes by inviting attendees to explore the landscape and natural palette of its grounds through the art of Contemporary Floral Design. The pieces created in this workshop will complement the color and texture of Montalvo’s unique property through the arrangement of seasonal foliage, flowers, and seeds. This exploration will teach students about native plants, how to use foraged foliage, and creating a palette that will work with a given event location. Topics of this class include: tints, shades, saturation, contrast, warmth, coolness, analogous colors, and rounding out with triangles. Amanda Borges, a native Californian who works as a landscape designer and florist throughout the Bay Area, will be instructing this class.
