Class Description

Description

Join us for an engaging morning of flower design instruction and creative practice. The Sampler course is ideal for individuals who want to experience our school and take home substantial knowledge about the art and craft of flower designing. This course features three comprehensive projects covering design styles from American to European traditions. Renowned instructor Michael Gaffney will guide you through each project and graciously sign copies of his book, Design Star, for course participants.

All flowers and containers are provided, ensuring you can focus entirely on learning and creating. During this class, you will discover professional techniques for keeping fresh flowers alive for weeks rather than days. Every participant leaves with beautifully designed floral arrangements created during the course. By day's end, you will have created numerous stunning flower designs, requiring practically a shopping basket to transport your work home. This course provides an excellent introduction to the world of professional flower design, teaching techniques Michael Gaffney has demonstrated on the Today Show.

    The experience was one I’ll never forget I loved it want to stay for the other half but will definitely take it again and recommend it to others still practicing the techniques and using them in my business
  • The World of Flowers: Floral Design Sampler

    I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Michael exudes excellence. His assistant, Josh was very efficient. They were organized and professional. The class was prompt and ran like a well oiled machine. Listen, I learned more in 4 hours and walked away with 3 arrangements. I took an 8 hour course in December and walked away angry! Michael also interjected humor, while still being firm. Kudos! I look forward to taking the 101.
