It is hard to believe spring is here after such a long winter. FlowerSchool has a wonderful lineup of classes brought to you by our Master Florists. Remco Van Vliet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be giving his annual spring branches class on Thursday, April 30th. If you have never taken a master class with Remco you are in for a delight and no more so than when he demonstrates his way of putting branches for a tall arrangement. He is featured in April 2009 Martha Stewart Living Magazine as well as the spring issue of Elegant Bride. Take a look and you can get an idea of how he manages to put together flowers and branches with such inspiration.
Speaking of Master Classes, I would like to clarify that the term Master Class refers to the teacher of the class, not the students. Anyone from a beginner to an experienced florist is welcome to join us in a master class. The class is about the style and the vision of the individual Master Florist. Everyone takes away something regardless of his or her level and the flowers are always astonishing. It is a hands-on experience, however most of the flowers are conditioned before the students come to the class. In the series classes, the students prepare and condition the flowers so you could say that the Master Classes are more pampering. In the Master Classes, we take time to serve tea and pastries as well as taking time to speak informally with the teachers about flowers, weddings and events. The flowers in the Master Classes are pre-conditioned and ready to be designed as a bouquet. The Series classes are more nitty gritty,
for the student who also wants to learn how flowers are prepared and conditioned for longer life.
Many times these days, I have been asked questions from people who are thinking about making a change in their lives and becoming more involved in flowers either as event planners, florists, or other options. Generally I advise them to take a mixture of classes – the Introductory series, a few Master classes and then the more advanced series. These can be purchased as group of 12 classes and taken over a year or in a shorter span of time. In April we will be doing back-to-back series starting on April 20th so that a student can take 2 series classes and two Master Classes within a period of two weeks. It is a good combination for those students who would like to do as much as they can within a short period.
We are also planning to do these classes in July over a one-week period and will put that up on our schedule as soon as we have everything worked out.
Please call us at FlowerSchool 212-661-8074 and we can give you some more details.
