For special events, weddings, and stylish photo shoots, sculptural floral design is more popular than ever. With this session, you'll learn proper mechanics, tips, and tactics, and how to be more effective with your creative play while feeling less overwhelmed when confronted with structural requests. During this 2-day intensive, you'll master cutting-edge techniques for successfully crafting floral structures and assisting in the creation of a team-driven large-scale floral exhibit.
Knowing how to use proper mechanics and the expertise to put it all together is at the heart of floristry's success. There's a popular belief that if you build it, people will come... This class will teach you how to do precisely that.
They will walk you through the procedures of designing an idea, including breaking down the steps, arranging your supplies, purchasing merchandise, and pricing sculptural works effectively. Demonstrations, explanations, and lots of hands-on practical play will be part of each day. All of the designs will also be properly photographed so that you may use them to advertise yourself and your art.
Invest in yourself by studying with two of the most talented people in the field.
