Using fresh, seasonal flowers, we will explain professional techniques in an easy-to-understand manner. Beginning with a description of the materials, preparation, and use of tools, we will teach you how to create shapes, tips and techniques for beautiful designs, as well as how to change the water and how to prolong the life of your work. Each lesson will be a slightly different style, such as the classic round French style, the uneven natural style, and the monochromatic design using the same color materials. The flower materials will change from lesson to lesson, so this curriculum is designed to allow students to experience different combinations and apply them on their own."
