Workshop with Kate using tall narrow containers

Elizabeth’s arrangement in a tall container

This month our workshop is on using tall narrow containers. This type of container offers some interesting challenges.

Some things to consider are:
Placement, often these containers will be on the floor so consider the angle from which the arrangement will be viewed.  You may choose to place your arrangement off the floor or a table, to be viewed from below.
Proportions, whether it is height or width, finding some balance and space in your arrangement can be tricky with a narrow opening. Sometimes showing the rim of the container can help create space.
Fixing, how do you prevent everything falling into a tall container? Finding long branches that have some curves may help. Crossbar fixing can be one way to help with securing shorter stems and to get some forward movement.
