Several previous DOY, Headdress, Mask and Body Flowers winners are coming together to support competitors for this year’s 2022 Convention competitions.

Please bring all your flowers, hardgoods and tools and receive coaching for any of the competitions being held at this year’s convention.  If you’re interested in competing in DOY, we suggest concentrating on what you believe to by your weakest area.  We will all be learning from each other’s projects as well.  Come ready with all your supplies and any questions for this intensive workshop.

Please bring any beverages or snacks you may need during your time at the workshop.  No sign-up is necessary since participants are providing their own materials.

Thanks, Stephanie Garrett, NCCPF AIFD CFD
