As we look ahead to the rest of 2020 and into 2021 here at Flourish Sussex Flower School we are looking forward to jam packed creative terms. In September our Christmas wreath workshop dates will be released. It will be a little different this year, but still just as fun. Smaller classes, socially distant, care packages for all. For those of you who can not make it to the studio this year we are excited to be launching our Christmas creative packages. Choose from four beautiful designs, then come on your selected date to pick up all your ingredients. Each wreath package will come in a box with the wire, frame, decorations, ribbon, a small bottle of prosecco and a bundle of foliage. You will then be given a link to a private tutorial where you can watch Alicia create the same wreath as to what you have purchased and you can create the arrangement in the comfort of your own home.
We can not wait to welcome students to the flower school in October for our wedding and event floristry course. Next year we will be running two wedding and event courses. This will teach students how to create the biggest and most eye catching displays in floristry, all foam free.
If flowers are your thing why not join us in 2021 for one of many courses of classes. We will be running three Foundation course for beginners and two wedding and event courses. These two courses along with our one day business class will give you everything you need to know to enter the floristry industry feeling confident and bustling ready to go.
We are going green at Flourish Sussex Flower School. We are increasingly moving away from materials that are harmful to the environment. So we have made the decision to no longer teach with green floral foam. This product does not decompose and we want to do our bit to help our lovely planet. We will instead choose to teach our students to work with eco friendly materials and where necessary will only use bio degradable foam.
We are super excited to be launching our first non based floristry workshop, BLOCK PRINTING. Inspired by my new lockdown hobby, I wanted to share my new love of traditional Indian block printing with students. We are running a day where guests can come, press flowers and display them in a beautiful brass frame, followed by mastering the technique of block printing. This is a wonderful workshop to get creative, have some fun with your friends and escape for a day.
We hope to inspire you to stay creative during these challenging times. Spending time working with your hands, enjoying colour, texture and nature is good for the mind and soul and we are looking forward to sharing our passion with you through the rest of 2020 and into 2021.
