Weekend ONE: Introductory Series – Saturday, March 20th & Sunday, March 21st (10:30am – 4:00pm)
This series of classes is intended for beginning-level students who have an interest in learning foundation level skills in floral design. Skills include how to correctly handle and care for flowers, how to use a floral knife and clippers, and the conditioning of flowers for optimal vase-life longevity. This series teaches simple, high-end designs that highlight the flowers’ most beautiful and unique characteristics. Once learned, these designs can be recreated at home again and again.

Weekend Two: Advanced Design Series – Saturday, May 1st & Sunday, May 2nd. (10:30am – 4:00pm)
The Advanced Design Series follows the Introductory and Intermediate Series where students learn more advanced techniques and begin to develop their own style of floral design. Students will learn how to differentiate between different design styles including organic/classic/modern, creating a design concept and determining their own color palette for each instructional technique.
In this series, an array of flowers and color palettes are available to students who then choose accompanying vessels and create designs accordingly. Guidance is given based on color, texture and scale appropriateness, and new designer mechanic techniques are featured.
