CLASSIC DESIGN          

This one day class will look at classic floral design and we’ll teach it with Jane Packer style.  Yes to tradition, but no to old fashioned!  A day of Jane’s interpretation on how to use those old favorites.  Whether it’s a traditionally shaped arrangement, container or bloom, we’ll mix them up with the new and fashionable to give the designs cutting edge style.  The day will include two of the basic floristry techniques, hand tying and arranging in floral foam.  This course is perfect for a beginner and creative enough to advance any novice.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

This day will be filled with Jane’s most up to date contemporary designs.  Thinking outside of the box, this day will be inspired by current trends in fashions and interiors and we’ll use funky colors, containers and stunning blooms in an unusual way.  Gone is the day of those fuddy duddy arrangements!  We will combine a number of basic skills with some floristry tricks to create some eye-catching designs – a great day out for the trend conscious!

WEDDING WORKSHOP

This one day wedding workshop will give you a small taster of wedding floristry.  One part is dedicated to wiring techniques which leads in to boutonnieres and corsages. The second part is a beautiful bridal bouquet. This will give any budding florist an insight into bridal floristry.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
This half day class is dedicated to using fruits and/or vegetables as part of a lush arrangement. Learn to appreciate and work with food in a way you never have before. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to do something contemporary and a bit unusual.

SUPERMARKET SURPRISE
Beat the credit crunch with this fun and innovative day. During this half day class we will show you how to get the most out of your "lack lustre" supermarket bunch! We will advise you on how to create some super designs from a typical bunch. These simple and effective ideas will be designed in a range of containers that are yours to take home.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DAY
This fun day gives insight in to the professional world of the flower shop. We start out with a guided tour of the New York City Flower Market, you will get a behind-the-scenes look at the blooms and accessories we use on a daily basis. After reconvening at the shop, you will get a lesson on flower conditioning and maintenance. In the afternoon, you will create a contemporary table arrangement.

CAREER COURSE

Our four week career course is designed as a foundation for those wishing to enter the industry and those with more than just a passing interest in flowers. This intensive course will give you a solid training in floristry from the home of the world's leading florist and the famous floristry school which also has established branches worldwide (London, Tokyo and Seoul). Starting with fundamental techniques, flower care, buying, and design, the course progresses to incorporate all areas of contemporary floral design, including specialist decorating and wedding work. The curriculum begins with technical instruction and develops into expression of our design philosophy. All materials, products and equipment required by the student are provided. By the end of the course you will have a basic set of containers, a comprehensive portfolio of design work and a self-built JANE PACKER floristry manual.
