Foraged florals

Foraging provides a great way to learn about the natural world around us and develop the skills and creative vision to see things differently. As a design method, it allows you to utilise the most humble and mediocre of materials and turn them into a wonderful display. You will be pleasantly surprised by what you can achieve.

This one day course creates space to hunt and gather as a group and learn how to apply the basic design principles of contemporary floral design to your arrangement. In particular, learning how to work with a limited colour palette to create beautiful and professional looking pieces. It also introduces students to the principles of sustainable floral practice.
