Flowers are moments that are fleeting and generous, just like life
Join Lauren & Louisina in their bright, flower filled, professional studio and immerse yourself in the magical world of garden flowers with our sustainable funeral flowers course. Learn beautiful, alternative, and sustainable methods to create funeral tributes that are meaningful, celebratory and natural.
This two day course will provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to be able to produce three naturally styled sympathy designs using foam-free techniques; a living wreath, a handtied sheaf, and a teardrop casket spray.
We will demonstrate how to implement our sustainable methods as well as how to approach the business side of funeral flowers covering including working with funeral directors, communicating with those who are grieving, costing, and how to market your business in this unique part of the industry which is notoriously difficult to break into. We will also provide a beautiful willow casket for students to use as an all-important prop for taking your own photographs for your professional funeral flowers portfolio.
This intensive two day course is packed full of the creative, practical, and business skills you require to provide sustainable funeral designs and tributes. We will cover a number of floristry design staples and core skills as well as discussions on how to enter the funeral industry. With almost five decades of experience in the industry, we ensure that you leave our course equipped with the knowledge and confidence you require to add sustainable sympathy flowers to your floristry repertoire.
Each class will include a demonstration and walk through on the techniques. Support and guidance will be given on the construction of the design with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
Develop your floristry skills and confidence in a beautiful setting and inspiring environment. Learn from two generations of florists: Lauren and Louisina are two highly skilled and experienced floral artists eager to share their wisdom and passion for crafting exquisite, garden-gathered arrangements. Learn how to transform your floristry with seasonality, sustainability and beauty at the forefront.
There will be a seasonal selection of our farm-grown flowers and foliage to work with. Our workshops always use our own farm-grown flowers. We never use imported flowers, floral foam or plastic in any of our work or teaching.
