Floristry Demonstration & Workshop
On Tuesday 3rd May, we had a visit from a florist and past-pupil, Mrs Hannah Gracey from ‘The Daisy Chain‘, Rathfriland. She talked to us about her business – arranging flowers for weddings, etc. and personal gifts – and different types of flowers. She also did floristry demonstrations – making a beautiful bouquet of roses, bows, etc. – and then kindly organised a ‘Floral Cupcake Workshop’, where pupils arranged their own floral cupcakes, using cases, fresh flowers, oases and floral glitter.
