Floral Design Program: Designing with Natural Materials

Each week a different natural material – wood, branches, foliage and fruit and vegetables – will take centre stage. These elements have always been included in arrangements but here we will make them the stars of the show! We will study their forms and shapes, textures, sizes, colouring and characteristics to discover the new and exciting ways they can be used. Join us on this journey of discovery. Prerequisites: Classic Design Fundamentals I & II required!

Course fees do not include flowers or supplies. Students are encouraged to find a local flower shop or grocery store to purchase their flowers. A materials list will be e-mailed prior to the start of each class.
