Come muse with us.......
After a successful Autumn floral musing we're heading back to Brixton for Spring 2015.
For two days next April we are making the old furniture factory in Brixton our home and are opening the doors to all those who share our passion for design, flora, texture and colour.
Against a backdrop of raw wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and smooth concrete floors, we're going to slow things down a little, enjoy local artisan produce together like fresh ground coffee, warm baked croissants and the most amazing blueberry pancakes from @flippinell! With natural light pouring in through the large glazed windows, we may be lucky enough to catch the morning Spring sun and enjoy the courtyard - where we will later introduce you to the principles of floral photography and capture our day's work on film.
Over the course of two days we will be running a series of practical floral demonstrations and lectures, giving you a real insight into our world of floral design. Whether you are an existing florist looking for fresh inspiration to move your business forward or a complete beginner, we will guide you through a range of techniques (and insider secrets) using the freshest flora the season has to offer.
Course Content:
Day One - Musings on balance, scale & form
Once we've taken time out to get to know you over a steaming cup of coffee we'll introduce ourselves and our floral passions to you. During We'll kick start the day with a nod to the history of our building and create beautiful meadow boxes together - using the traditional wooded crates that the building is famous for.
In the afternoon there will be a thematic lecture and a floral demonstration as we show you how to create one of the flower school's signature pieces - the floral door garland. This will allow us to take you though the key areas of floral selection, colour, balance and form whilst working on a grand scale. Then it's over to you to create your own garland using all of the knowledge you have learnt from the day. The very talented Ashlee from Taylor Barnes Photography will then take you through the principles of floral photography, sharing hints and tips on proportion, positioning and light before you find your perfect place in the building to photograph your work.
Day Two - Musings on proportions, details and finishes
Hopefully you will have spent the night dreaming of flora and this morning you will be totally inspired and raring to go, so after breakfasting together, it’s straight on with the aprons as we delve into the romance of floral bouquets. Through a series of practical demonstrations, we will show you various styles of hand tied bouquets and present our own signature style. Then it’s over to you as you are given the freedom to find your own conversation with flowers and create your own wonderfully romantic design. We will then wander through our gorgeous archive of silk ribbons and teach you how to finish your designs and prep them for more individual photography throughout the building.
There will be another thematic lecture followed by an introduction to wired work and the delightful art of floral crowns. Late in the afternoon, we will end the course as we began, slow things down, put a pot of coffee on and share our learnings, hopes and dreams in an open forum with the full flower school team.
