Make a basket for napkins using start-stop weaving.

Pot-et-Fleur is the French art of creating a flower arrangement with potted plants and cut flowers. In this class, you will learn how to incorporate cut flowers into potted plant arrangements.

Students will be given a container, a potted plant, and multiple cut flowers to create a beautiful Pot-et-Fleur to take home.
