Brief Curriculum Outline:
Week One:
We'll start the course by creating a really beautiful meadow box, using sustainable techniques. This is a lovely, relaxed way to explore natural floristry, and your design will look gorgeous both on the floor and at table height.
Week Two:
This week is all about coming together. You'll make your own low table arrangement, and then we'll join everyone's designs to make one long, lush garland. You'll also learn how to make a soft, flowing floral cascade.
Week Three:
This is a really fun session where we dive into floral wearables. Think flower cuffs, headbands, hair combs and buttonholes; delicate pieces that are beautiful to create and even lovelier to wear.
Week Four:
We'll finish the course with something exciting: installation work. Working in pairs, you'll create a climbing floral display on one of our pillars. A great introduction to large-scale event floristry.
