Expand and refine your floral design skills by exploring historical and international floral design.
This course includes advanced linear, Phoenix, wire structures, grand tropical, and cascade or waterfall designs. Techniques include basing, binding, banding, wiring, taping, and the use of chicken wire as you work with a wide range of flowers and foliage. Jane Godshalk demonstrates the elements and principles of design while you work with increasingly challenging concepts and a broad variety of techniques and materials to create exceptional designs.
You create your arrangements, upload an image or video of each final work, and receive personalized feedback on your designs from your skilled instructor. The learning continues with two online, interactive sessions as Godshalk provides expert advice on how to improve your designs and take your floristry to the next level.
