About the workshop

This two-day intensive program is designed for professional florists and floral designers who want to develop advanced contemporary floral design techniques. Through hands-on work, participants will learn how to construct modern bouquets, wearable floral pieces, and contemporary floral arrangements.

Workshop program

Participants will create:

DAY 1

1. Wire frame cascade bouquet

This armature replaces traditional wiring and taping and allows designers complete command of their materials. All of the flowers can be added onto the armature, or a “hybrid” cascade can be created by adding natural stems alongside the armature. 

2. Wire spine cascade bouquet

This armature allows designers to create impressive, dynamic bouquets that appear to float, but have a stable, internal structure that ensures stability and control.

3. Double duty handle bouquets

These two armature methods allow designers to create modern open or closed handle bouquets that easily convert to artful headpieces.

DAY 2

4. Artful bracelet bouquets

Learn two ways to create updated, relevant bracelet bouquets. Light, easy to hold, and appealing to modern couples.

5. Updated corsage and boutonnière techniques

Streamlined, modern, and artful- these methods are designed to be fun to create and widely appealing to modern couples.

6. Form-linear layered centerpiece

This session will focus on the elements that make a successful form linear design- negative space, asymmetry, precise placements, and proportion. Layering and use of romantic materials will translate this minimal style to wedding and event work.

Professional photography

At the end of each day, a professional photoshoot will be organized with a model and a professional photographer, allowing participants to receive high-quality portfolio images for their business and social media.

• 2 days of workshops (9am –7pm), 20 hours total

Susan je međunarodno priznati floral designer, umjetnica i edukatorica poznata po inovativnom pristupu cvijeću, floralnom nakitu i suvremenim tehnikama dizajna.

Autorica je knjiga: The Art of Wearable Flowers i Flowers for All, a njezini radovi objavljeni su u vodećim svjetskim publikacijama kao što su:

• Martha Stewart Weddings

O radionici

Ovaj dvodnevni intenzivni masterclass namijenjen je profesionalnim floristima i dizajnerima cvijeća koji žele razviti napredne tehnike suvremenog floralnog dizajna. Sudionici će kroz praktičan rad učiti konstrukciju modernih buketa, floralnog nakita i suvremenih aranžmana.

Program radionice

Polaznici će izrađivati:

1. DAN RADIONICE

 1. Wire frame kaskadni buket

Ova konstrukcija zamjenjuje klasično žičanje i tapiranje te dizajnerima daje potpunu kontrolu nad materijalom. Svi cvjetovi mogu se postavljati direktno na konstrukciju, ili se može izraditi “hibridni” kaskadni buket kombiniranjem prirodnih stabljika i konstrukcije.

2. Wire spine kaskadni buket 

Ova konstrukcija omogućuje izradu upečatljivih, dinamičnih buketa koji djeluju kao da lebde, dok istovremeno imaju stabilnu unutarnju strukturu koja osigurava čvrstoću i kontrolu.

3. Buketi s “double duty” ručkom

Ove dvije metode konstrukcije omogućuju izradu modernih buketa s otvorenom ili zatvorenom ručkom, koji se lako transformiraju u umjetničke ukrase za glavu.

2. DAN RADIONICE

4. Umjetničke narukvice – buketi

Naučite dva načina izrade suvremenih narukvica od cvijeća. Lagane, jednostavne za nošenje i vizualno privlačne modernim mladencima.

5. Moderne corsage i boutonnière tehnike

Pročišćene, suvremene i estetski snažne tehnike koje su osmišljene da budu jednostavne za izradu, ali vizualno vrlo atraktivne i relevantne modernim klijentima.

6. Form-linear slojeviti centerpiece

Ovaj dio fokusira se na ključne elemente uspješnog form-linear dizajna: negativni prostor, asimetriju, precizno postavljanje elemenata i proporcije. Korištenjem slojevitosti i romantičnih materijala, ovaj minimalistički stil prilagođava se wedding i event aranžmanima.

Profesionalno fotografiranje

Na kraju svakog dana organizirano je profesionalno fotografiranje radova s modelom i profesionalnim fotografom kako bi sudionici dobili kvalitetan portfolio materijal za svoje poslovanje i društvene mreže.
