ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
In Elements of Design we focus on each element in turn - Colour, Line, Space, Shape, Tone, Texture and Form. Having a basic knowledge of each of the seven elements - the fundamental keystones to all artistic work - is invaluable. Without this, it can be all too easy to over work flower arrangements, or simply feel overwhelmed in knowing where to start. A combination of design theory and a close observation of the natural world will allow you to achieve your creative potential as a florist and designer.
Choose to take each class singly, or all seven as a bundle.
