Happened upon a flower headband workshop while travelling. Set up in upper floors of museum, targeted to kids perhaps, but open to all. Tradition had an annual parade of young girls with a "wreath" of flowers in their hair as the Spring flowers came to bloom.
Took a piece of vine and some fine wire. Wrapping the wire around the vine, incorporating blooms in wire loops to work all the way down the vine. The town was full bloom, both cultivated in gardens and in the more "wild" parts of nature.
I didn't take the time to make a full head wreath, but the wristband I did make gave me tutorial for understanding some of what had come before via the tradition.
Same museum! Bunder Kunstmuseum, Chur, Switzerland.
Martin Disler installation --surrounding a whole floor ..floor to ceiling.
