Course Outline:
This course is the perfect introduction into floristry with no prior experience.
The art of Floristry is enduring and in this class we will explore the use of Colors & Textures with an emphasis on natural looking arrangements.
Each lesson begins with a demonstration by the tutor, followed by a workshop-style tutorial during which students create their own arrangement under guidance. The hands on approach allows mastery of important techniques, under the guidance of a tutor, in a relaxed and informal environment. Classes are kept small to allow quality training.
We use a mix of both fresh and dried flowers so students get to see how different it is using both.
