Starting evening classes in September is ideal: they last for 3 months and allow you to enjoy the tail end of summer flowers, then autumn flowers, and finally the first winter flowers.

Course audience

The class is limited to

7 people

, to ensure that learning is as personalized as possible and that everyone has enough workspace.

This course is accessible to

beginners who want to discover the world of floristry

but also to

people who have already started training in the floral universe

and wish to refine their skills and/or discover alternative techniques to traditional methods (work without floral foam, current color palettes, study of shapes, volumes, and textures).

Course themes, timings, and location

The evening classes will take place on

Thursday evenings from 6 PM to 8 PM

in our shop-workshop located either:

- at

5 place d'Aligre

, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris;

- at

6 rue Brézin,

in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.

The location is to be chosen at the time of registration but will be fixed for the 6 classes.

Except for exceptions, they are held

every two weeks

(i.e., one Thursday out of 2) and are put on

hold during school vacations and public holiday weeks

. Why? So that these classes are not too constraining on your schedules and you have time to enjoy your flowers before the next class.

Course content

Course 1 :

rustic tied bouquet

; this course will start with learning a fundamental technique - the spiral - through the making of a rhythmic and moving bouquet, in rustic style. We will also address how we design a color palette.

Course 2 :

English-style table center

; with this type of low and elongated composition, we will discover how to create "staked compositions without floral foam, using ancient and eco-responsible alternatives.

Course 3 :

tied bouquet facing

; more graphic and structured, this type of bouquet designed as a true decorative element will allow us to better grasp lines and volumes. This course will also be an opportunity to deepen the spiral technique.

Course 4 :

facing staked composition

; worked more in height than the table center, this composition is often placed in reception venues. It will offer us the opportunity to work on curves, irregular stems, atypical ones, in short, to play with the fantasies of nature.

Course 5: festive wreath :

classic or revisited, the wreath is a timeless element of florists' decorations that can be adapted infinitely. This course will immerse us straight into the Christmas atmosphere!

Course 6 :

dried flower jewelry

; bracelet, boutonnière, wreath are small pieces that are created with patience and precision. Learning these so-called flower assembly techniques is very useful in floristry, especially for weddings. To vary the pleasures, we will only handle dried flowers in this course.

During each of these sessions, we will cover topics that are transversal to us: the association of colors, the play of textures, shapes, and volumes. We will obviously provide you with information about the flowers used and guarantee that they have been carefully selected with respect for the environment. You will leave with your creations and valuable tips for further improvement whenever you feel like it!

Necessary materials for the course

We lend you everything that is necessary for the proper realization of your creation during the workshop, and of course, you leave with the fruit of your labor. During the first course, we will also provide you with a small notebook that you can fill out throughout your learning.

We offer you the

opportunity to additionally acquire a

florist's tool kit

for 120.

This includes:

a florist's pruning shears

a all-purpose cutter

a florist's knife

a kenzan (flower holder)

50 cm square chicken wire

3 meters of special crown wire

6 meters of reinforced raffia
