This
relaxed and fun course will introduce the principles and elements of British floral
design and give you the confidence to use a range of techniques and materials
when making beautiful floral arrangements. Each session will have a different
focus, such as colour or form, and will be hands-on as you make stylish designs
to take home. Be inspired by beautiful flowers and leave at the end of the week
with the knowledge and confidence to create stunning floral arrangements for
your home.
Do you
love flowers? Would you like some new ideas and practical tips for how to use them
in your home? This introductory course is a great way to discover your natural creativity
in a relaxed and friendly environment. Each day you will be introduced to a
range of floristry principles and techniques and go on to create your own
beautiful arrangement to take away with you.
Sue
Scott of Pink and Rose Flowers loves sharing her passion for floral design.
Having trained as a professional florist with The Academy of Floral Art she
believes that everyone can enjoy developing their own floral design skills. Sue
has many years of experience in education and now loves running workshops to
help people gain confidence with some new skills.
For
each session of the course there will be a short introduction to one of the key
elements of modern floral design including colour, texture, form and space
alongside a demonstration of an arrangement using a different technique every
day. Each design will suit a different place in the home including an informal
jug arrangement, a dining table centre piece and a low coffee table
arrangement. Each design will use a different type of container and materials
which add to your kit to take away at the end of the week and giving you the
chance to recreate everything back at home. Sue enjoys using natural materials
and many of the techniques and sundries will reflect this with sand, moss and slate
all on the list!
Course participants
will create their own arrangements each day and by the end of the week will
have a huge bank of ideas and the confidence to go home and create beautiful designs
for themselves.
Most of
the sundries and materials for your designs will be sourced by Sue but
participants will need to bring:
• A jug to use approximately 12 - 16cm high with a neck of
approximately 8 - 10cm opening
• Two or three jam jars - small e.g. mustard or medium e.g. jam size
• A glass vase or ceramic or copper etc. vase or jug approximately
22cm high (opening size not so important!)
• An apron, notebook and camera if desired
Sue
will have some items from the above list available to sell if required.

About Sue
Sue spent the first part of her career in
teaching - mainly in Nursery and Infant settings - and enjoyed two headships.
She has always enjoyed gardening and the natural world alongside arranging and
playing with flowers. This finally led her to begin some professional floristry
training with the prestigious Academy of Floral Art and before long she was
hooked!
Sue set up her own business Pink and Rose in the
hope of combining her floristry with running her own business and sharing her
passion for all things floral. She has found that running workshops and classes
is a great way for people to relax whilst doing something creative and learning
new skills. A few tips and tricks can go a long way to gaining confidence in
the not so mysterious world of floral art and Sue loves showing you what they
are!
