Explore spiral floral design using spring flowers and grasses arranged in flowing, Art Nouveau–inspired forms.
Learn how spiral movement creates rhythm and balance while creating a design supported by a wire cylinder structure that allows stems to arch and move freely. Emphasis is placed on line, motion, and the natural character of each botanical element.
