BASIC FLORAL DESIGN
PART 2

In this course, participants will explore the elements and principles of design and floral techniques such as focal area, grouping and basing with floral designer Mimi Cassick. In each step-by-step class, you will create designs including an asymmetrical design, a contemporary spray, a crescent-shaped design, a horizontal centerpiece and a naturalistic landscape design. This course’s emphasis is on specific placement of materials and how they pull the viewer’s eye through the design, using the elements and principles of design and floral techniques. All materials are supplied except for floral snips. All arrangements are yours to take home.
