A Floral Art design competition that featured work from members of 11 Auckland clubs drew a large crowd to Orewa Baptist Church this month.
Work by members of the Warkworth Floral Art Club made a strong showing – the club won the prize for the most entries and came third in the Club category. The show ran over two days, September 12 and 13, with works created and judged on the first day and doors opening to the public the following day.
The theme, which was ‘couture’, ensured the entries were dramatic, bright, funky and colourful.
A section called High Society featured decorated handbags and shoes and Warkworth shone in this division, with their talented floral artists taking first, second and third places. These works were able to be pre-prepared, while the others in the show were created on site.
President Delwyn Lawrence said sweeping the category came about because the group was “very motivated” by one member who led a workshop and encouraged members to play and try things out.
