A study in movement, balance, and form, our Hand-Tied Bouquets workshop is an essential skill-builder for anyone drawn to floral design. You’ll explore both freeform and spiral bouquet techniques, gaining confidence in mechanics while refining your eye for composition and colour. Join us for Foundations: Hand-tied Bouquets and return often.
Included
A demonstration of our method for relaxed, airy bouquets, using both freeform and spiral techniques. We’ll touch on colour, line, negative space, and texture.
Harvest your own materials—let the garden guide your inspiration.
Take home your arrangement in a simple glass vase or jar, or bring a favourite vessel from home.
Use of our floral tools and supplies.
Materials
Each session draws from the shifting abundance of the season:
June: A first taste of summer—cosmos, calendula, forget-me-nots, stock, and the drama of peonies and early dahlias.
July: The garden at full tilt—lush, rolling blooms in peak abundance. Delicate stems of foxglove, cosmos, and poppies bloom beside explosions of dahlias, sunflowers, and zinnias.
August: Harvest season—saturated colours, fruiting tomato vines, blackberry branches, and a riot of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, celosia.
September: A golden finale—deep-hued dahlias, rudbeckia, sunflowers, seedpods, grasses, and lavender anemones.
