In 5 days, you’ll master the basic techniques of floristry—from spiral bouquets to interior arrangements. Every day brings a new project, and each project teaches a specific skill you can apply right away.
For those who want to start their career from scratch or refine their existing skills and develop their own style.
The price covers natural and floral materials: branches, bark, vines, moss, dried flowers, and fresh flowers. It also includes structural materials: wire, construction ties, tree trimmings, and rebar.
Under the guidance of Elena Ivanchenko, you’ll learn how to photograph your practice bouquets to their best advantage. You can also document your professional work.
We meet every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., taking coffee breaks together.
You’ll move from standard bouquets to meaningful work with complex shapes and textures. And understand the principles of design and learn why one arrangement holds its shape while another doesn’t. Additionally, you’ll learn to source materials independently and see the potential in every twig.
We believe in intensive learning, which is why we hold classes every day until 7 p.m. Elena Ivanchenko devotes time to each student. Every evening, we review and discuss the students’ work
