Floral Art And Design

Table Designs for All Occasions

The 5 week long Floral Art courses are suitable for anyone who likes flowers and wants to learn how to arrange them, make the most of a limited selection, to stretch the imagination and present flowers in a new way.

The course will cover flower arranging and floristry skills in a relaxed and fun way. Students will provide their own materials under guidance and be encouraged to select and choose containers and flowers themselves.

On the first afternoon there will be an overview of the course, date and times will be given and a design will be made. You will need a toolbox if you have one, or a pair of flower cutters. A note pad, pen, hand towel and box to transport the design will also be needed.

The materials for the first class will be provided by the tutor, at cost. Students will pay on the evening for the materials used costing approximately £5.00.

By the end of the course you will be able to: create design for the home, gifts, celebrations and events, choose the materials needed and to condition and buy the flowers, understand the principles and elements of design, understand the history of floral design and the difference between flower arranging and floristry.

The tutor, Julia Russett is a National teacher and Area floral demonstrator for NAFAS (National Association of Flower Arrangement Society), creative floral designer, independent tutor and a highly qualified florist. She has been working with flowers for over 15 years. As well as teaching floristry and flower arranging Julia is a keen floral art competitor and was lucky to exhibit at Chelsea Flower Show in 2014.

The course is every Saturday starting from September 19th for five weeks.
