Thank you for visiting the page. This course is cancelled.
In today’s flower world the public are drifting away from the average
flower shop, they are sourcing their flowers from many different
outlets. As florists and designers we can retain our core business which
focuses around wedding flowers, sympathy flowers and anything that needs
a real technique. This is something our competitors in the large stores
as yet do not cater for.
Our course this year will focus on 2 areas, producing designs for
specialist entertaining, showing of our techniques which differ greatly
in appearance and emphasize the different plant materials and flowers
which are not always readily available on the high street. We will
follow the trend of using living plant material and incorporating it
with design techniques and sundry materials which will give our
customers longevity and real pleasure.
Our visiting designer Laura Leong who is of world class
redound will spend a day on wedding design. This will give each
and every student the privilege of working alongside the 1st class
designer. Barbara Shakespeare our former principal will
return with new product development from leading wholesalers and as
usual turn them into new ideas and fashion. Geoffrey Hughes will take
the more unusual to another level, using everyday product turning inside
out and creating an off the wall feeling.
Depending on our numbers we will also introduce a surprise element
accompanied by a further designer. All the above elements will lead to a
fun and interesting set of Master classes creating the art of flower
design. We have 10 places available in the heart of London early booking
is recommended, look forward to seeing you all!
