Taught by our master designers Minal Akkad and Ruth Evan in a pre-competition workshop, FGC members stretched their creativity in our Spatial Thrust Design competition. Spatial Thrust is a creative design with a dominate volume of empty space defined by two strong, straight, parallel placements of identical plant or man-made material. The thrust may be vertical, diagonal or horizontal. Many of us learned that our thrust elements were not strong enough and that this type of design calls for minimal use of flowers.
