Make a Crepe-Paper Bearded Iris at OKCMOA on Nov. 15, 2026
The bearded iris in this class is made piece by piece: participants shape fine crepe paper into petals, form a center and bring the parts together as one bloom. Oklahoma City artist Jennifer Perkins leads the three-hour workshop at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art on Sunday, Nov. 15.
A bloom assembled from separate parts
The project is a lifelike bearded iris, not a general flower-making session. Perkins guides participants through shaping delicate petals, varying color and suggesting natural movement in crepe paper; they also learn to sculpt the flower center and assemble the individual pieces.
That sequence makes the class a study in construction as well as appearance. The listed process moves from working on the flower’s components to building the whole bloom, with Perkins demonstrating her professional approach. The museum says supplies are provided.

Jennifer Perkins’s botanical approach
Jennifer Perkins is an Oklahoma City-based mixed-media artist and owner of Petal Pioneer, where she makes paper flowers. Her work treats flowers as sculptural subjects, drawing on observation of botanical forms.
For this class, that perspective informs a guided project: participants shape and assemble iris components, adjusting color and form along the way. The format is structured around a specific flower rather than an open-ended project.

A floral prompt within a wider Art Nouveau exhibition
The class takes its inspiration from The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art, on view at OKCMOA from Oct. 31, 2026, through Jan. 24, 2027. The exhibition brings together 127 works, including furniture, jewelry, prints and paintings, so its subject extends well beyond floral imagery.
Its five thematic sections are Japonisme; Siegfried Bing and the Maison de l’Art Nouveau; École de Nancy; The Triumph of Nature; and From Nouveau to Deco: The Triumph of Industry. Works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley are among those featured. The iris class offers one close, hands-on response to the exhibition’s floral forms, rather than a survey of the show’s broader range.
