Trends for the design and fashion industries are set four years in advance and in this one-day course we look at how to ‘tap-in’ to the knowledge of trends and how to use them well within the floristry retail business.

These masterclasses are all about colour combinations and harmonies, shapes and natural lines. Translating emotions into floral art.

Developed by the tutors at The Floristry School, this course will give you the knowledge and skills needed to create and develop some of the key floral designs used by professional florists in the industry.

These three masterclasses celebrate the increasing demand for sustainable products from both corporate and private clients and aim to give florists a deeper understanding and appreciation of sustainability within the industry.

During this workshop you will design, produce and develop two hanging installations suitable for larger scale weddings and events.

There is a general mis-understanding that working in the floristry industry is easy and less stressful than some other retail industries so this course is designed around giving students an understanding of the demands of the industry together with an appreciation of the potential of how a floristry business can develop, be successful and profitable whilst also being able to compete in this every changing world.

During this one-day workshop you will work through and understand all the health & safety legislation required to successfully manage a retail floristry business.

Aimed at business owners and senior florists, you will devise and produce a contract of employment for new members of staff and understand the legislation surrounding employment law.

Do you want to change your retail space to create more interest and foot-fall

The emphasis of this course will be on the profitability, longevity and adaptability of planted designs. 

During this workshop florists will design, produce and develop a screen and a framework that can be used to enhance their wedding portfolio. One will be technique led whilst the other will be highly floral.

Focussing on botanicals that are currently in bloom, we will explore the potential of working with flowers and plants to achieve an array of colours and texture onto fabrics, working with silk, linen and hemp.

We all think we can photograph brilliantly on our mobile phones, but this 4 hour class will help you compete with others in the industry and help you stand out from the crowd.
