A modern approach to using fresh cut flowers led by floral design studio Terra Flora.
Taking inspiration from our exhibition, this floral design workshop will guide you in creating displays that are a nod to the Dutch masters but with a modern twist.
Whether you are new to floristry or have had some experience before, the session will offer guidance to working seasonally and give you the tools, knowledge, and practical skills needed to create stunning naturalistic displays.
The session lasts 2 hours and gives you plenty of time to learn, explore and be creative. There will also be refreshments for you to enjoy whilst you create. The workshop is a mixed level group and is for everyone. You don’t need to bring anything with you, as all materials that are needed for the session will be provided.
Biography: Terra Flora is a floral design atelier based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. We work with the seasons to make naturalistic florals and botanical installation spaces for occasions and events. We take our inspiration directly from nature echoing how plants and flowers grow together, but with a modern twist. We have established a cutting garden at our studio home that allows us to design with fresh flowers that we grow through the seasons. We love to share our learned knowledge and experience and our floral workshops are designed to give participants a balance between gaining practical knowledge and creative play
This workshop is part of our ‘Bloom’ exhibition events programme.
Suitable for those aged 16+ (under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult)
