THE ART OF ENTERTAINING

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!
