Floral Design

Intro to Floral Design

We will cover the principles and elements of Floral Design, as well as fresh flower care and handling. A hands-on workshop will be included in each class session. All flowers, materials, and tools will be provided you can take home each project. While this is more of an educational program, the atmosphere is casual and the material we’ll work with is lovely. We’ll use a different combination of florals each week. Topics covered: Harmony and Unity; Proportion and Scale; Rhythm and Emphasis; Balance and Symmetry. An additional materials fee of $100 (cash or check) is required, payable to the instructor at the first class. Class is taught by floral designer, Cindy Mattson of Given Erwin Florist. (10 hours) $99

Students will be shown different techniques applied to floral design and will again have hands on experience using fresh material and interesting supplies. Each week the instructor will focus on a specific theme, principle or element. The class will then have an opportunity to demonstrate their version of that design.
