WA FLORAL ART SOCIETY INC 'AT HOME'  2005 Meeting 

The West Australian Floral Art Society Inc held a very successful floral afternoon on Saturday the 11th June 2005, where invitations were extended to  floral art clubs, fellow flower arrangers, guests, family and friends to share in a special mid year meeting titled 'AT HOME'.  The staging of the Societies annual Members Championship competitions were also conducted during this meeting providing a 'Floral Feast' of textures, forms, patterns and colours showcasing the floral talents of members from this Society.  

A special demonstration  was conducted during the 'At Home' meeting by talented Floral Designer Debbie Skroza - The title of Debbie's demonstration was 'COMMUNITY' (see report detailed below)

Special Demonstration Report:

Members and visitors were captivated by this demonstration where Debbie took us on a journey offering an insight into the numerous areas within the Community that she encounters in her employment. Stunning exhibits featuring a variety of techniques and styles represented areas such as 'Youth, Seniors, Aged Care, Family, Carers, Multi-Cultural & Disabilities.  Everyone was treated to a diverse array of designs including an elegant traditional, several sculptural designs, constructions, contemporary creations and her finale was a large suspended exhibit incorporating large pieces of entwined driftwood.

Debbie gave members a greater understanding of the important services and support role Debbie, her staff and groups of volunteers are able to offer people, families and groups throughout our Community – Very worthwhile services  that many of us may eventually have to make contact with sometime in our lives.   

Debbie’s first design introduced the area of ‘Youth’, which was represented by a ‘life size’ children’s slide decorated in a fanciful manner incorporating colourful  gerberas, carnations, poinsettias and foliages.  Very long branches with hand made ‘willow balls’ attached, were placed throughout this large design creating an impression of fun and laughter. 

Another of Debbie’s designs reflected the ‘Multi-cultural’ community and her ‘oversized’ ‘noodle bowl’ complete with bamboo chop sticks, capsicums, cabbage and snow peas created a wonderful design and had many of us reflecting on our happy times in Japan.

A wonderful demonstration that appealed to all members.

The 2005 Members Championship Competitions were also staged during this meeting.  To view these designs simply follow the link.
