Our November workshop was on arranging in tall narrow containers. This type of container offers some interesting challenges. Kate demonstrated.
Some things to be considered were:
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.
