Budding Talents Flower School
Start with the basics, and work your way up to making your own show stopping floral arrangements with our very own Flower School.
Scoops, Crescents, Parallels and Curves are the topic of this Budding Talents Workshop while learning how to create a slightly more advanced design without foam. Don't be intimidated by the topic though it sounds slightly more advanced. You can do it. You will create a Scoop arrangement is a repurposed wood container for this Sustainable Design. Vessel, flowers, foliage and make and take arrangement included.
For our June Budding Talents Workshop, continue your flower arranging journey by learning Kate's favourite style of Flower Arranging. French Blooms is all amount "en masse" bundling and massing blocks of colour with mostly focal flowers in vintage style vessels. Particularly with Peonies! Flowers, foliage and vessel included.
This Budding Talents Flower School Workshop is truly a fundamental. We teach one of the most ancient of flower-arranging skills: how to make a tussie-mussie. This style of nosegays or posies dates from the 1500's and is deeply linked to Floriography or The Language of flowers. You will make two tussie mussies: one to keep and one to give to someone to whom you would like to send a secret message in the Language of Flowers. Our Language of Flowers and Tussie Mussie Booklet is also included.
For our April Budding Talents Workshop, you will go deep into the Foraged look which is very current. Heavier on greenery, fresh from the garden picked, featuring a variety of foliage and flowers. We'll show you how to create a spring colours centrepiece and how to create a generous gridded, seasonal, foraged bouquet in a clear, glass, open-throated vase. Vase, greenery, flowers included.
Tablescaping is a foundational skill for flower arrangers. For this Budding Talents Workshop you will learn how to tablescape with garlands and bud vases. Create an Italian Ruscus garland along with three bud vases filled with line, mass and filler flowers with greenery. Perfect for a summer party.
Valentine Roses can often be a challenge mostly to make them last but also to showcase their beauty. This Budding Talent Workshop is all about the various classic ways to display roses. You will "Bricklay" a dozen roses, foliage and filler flowers (we promise no Baby's Breath) to display in a torch shaped vase. Vessel, flowers, foliage and tip sheet included.
Another Fundamental skill to develop in the Budding Talent Workshop series is learning how to create bouquets: Spiraling, Hand-Tying and creating Strauss free standing bouquets. Learning how to spiral flowers is yet another foundational skill as you develop your Flower Arranging Skills. You will create a free-standing Strauss bouquet as your Make and Take.
