It is our joy to present you the Autumn master classes in line with European thinking. The course will take place in the beautiful seaside town of Weston-super-mare. Lead designers Geoffrey Hughes and Barbara Shakespeare have been dedicating this hands-on course for florists, refreshers, or someone who enjoy creative floral designs. The school 2014 will focus on primarily funeral designing, wedding presentations of fresh flowers and artistic planting designs including trends in the industry.
Day 1 - 29th of October 9:30 - 16:00
Designer Barbara Shakespeare, N.D.S.F F.S.F. M.F.
Funeral Tributes - This will be the presentation and preparation of
artistic funeral designs suitable for specific requests. Barbara
will be crafting and preparing bases by hand shapes,
design and flowering accordingly. Students will need to bring any suitable
equipment with regards to craft knife and accessories they may like to
use.
Day 2 - 30th of October 9:15 - 16:00
Designer Geoffrey Hughes, M.F.
Funeral Home Tributes - This morning session will be
specifically to an arrangement that will be placed within the funeral
home; this could be a church, a crematorium, a wake venue or a
pre-home venue.
After the class, cars will leave for a retail visit in Bristol.
Day 3 - 31th of October 9:15 - 16:00
Designer Geoffrey Hughes, M.F.
Pleasure stoles / scarfs - Those are becoming very fashionable in
continental Europe as clothes accessories for functions both evening and
daytime. For example, weddings, gala dinner or sports meetings.
The designer will put together various ways of achieving these
attractive accessories. We have done handbags, hats, body flowers and
jewellery in the past. It will be fun to tackle this new concept
in floral design.
Day 4 - 1st of November 9:15 - 16:00
Designer Geoffrey Hughes, M.F. and Barbara Shakespeare,
N.D.S.F F.S.F. M.F.
Planted Designs - In this section we will explore the different
possibilities of plant materials whilst appropriating the design to a
functional piece, such as a living wall hanging, a sculptural
arrangement for a business or serviced area, even a simple table design
using many different textures and product's available. This is all
different from what you can buy of the shelf and the sort of thing you
can stand out
with as an individual designer.
Our teaching pattern is hands on and
intensive. We send all the students away with the
satisfaction of being able to work and deliver designs for themselves.
