Spurlock Sunday: Flowers of Us

Springtime brings a burst of energy as it brings in a period of growth, renewal, and activity. Wherever the seasons change, people have kept a keen eye on the shifts happening around them. For many places across the world, flowers have been some of the first plants to take advantage of the end of winter.

Ushering in a stark vibrant burst of color that had been lacking during the winter months, flowers have become a quintessential symbol of spring across many cultures. Just as flowers become tremendously diverse over time through evolution, the social importance and symbolism of flowers has, and continues to, change dramatically.

As plants, animals, and people move, and as culture changes, so too does the symbolism represented by flowers. Join us for a leisurely craft to harness your burst of creative energy. We will have all sorts of supplies provided for you to play around with and craft culturally iconic flowers from all over the world.
