ONLINE CLASSES

Our online resources are carefully curated with an intentional balance between the instructive and the inspirational. We aim to demonstrate a wide scope of how to grow and arrange with flowers, so that you can utilise and adapt these techniques in your studio, home or on site - from exploring seasonal ingredients to experimenting with re-usable mechanics.

 
 

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

Colour, Tone, Shape, Form, Line, Space and Texture

Having a basic knowledge of each of the seven elements of design is invaluable. Without this, it can be all too easy to over work flower arrangements, or simply feel overwhelmed in knowing where to start. A combination of design theory and a close observation of the natural world will allow you to achieve your creative potential as a florist and designer.

Choose to take each class singly, or all seven as a bundle.
