This introductory flower design course is the ideal next step for anyone who has caught the floral design bug and is ready to build a real skill set. Over the course of this program, you will work through approximately eight to ten distinct design styles, traveling through a range of techniques and aesthetics from the clean, structured lines of American design to the lush, organic compositions of European style and beyond.
Each session introduces a new approach to design, giving you a progressively deeper toolkit that you can apply both in class and at home. Rather than simply following prescribed arrangements, you will learn to think like a designer: understanding why certain compositions work, how different flower varieties and textures interact, and how seasonal foliage can transform an otherwise simple piece into something striking and memorable.
Our instructors bring years of professional experience to every class, offering feedback and guidance that is both technically grounded and creatively encouraging. You will work with fresh, seasonal flowers throughout the course and take home a new arrangement each session.
