Career Change Workshops - Our new Campbell's adventure!

Hi all,

So you will have probably seen last week that our social media was full of pictures and videos about our new little venture into career change workshops.  The idea came about after we got chatting to the lovely Rosy and Sarah after one of our workshops last year, both girls were looking for a change of career and wanted to get into floristry but didn't really know where to start.  So T went away and had a think and with her teaching background she put together a week long plan for the girls to give them all the help they needed to get a head start in the floristry biz.  Now we are not so naive that we think that floristry can be learnt in a week but just like learning to drive we can teach you the skills but it is up to you to practice what you've learnt and gain your own experience in the field.  We encourage creativity within our workshops and try our best to bring out everyone's individuality so you can create your own style of work using the basic skills learnt.

The week covered many things as you can imagine but design wise everyone learnt how to make a flower crown, hand tied bouquet, long and low, pedestal, button holes and large scale designs such as flower arches.  I have taken a few photos which I have included below.
















Just follow this link for a YouTube video for all the behind the scenes info on the workshops plus interviews with Sarah and Rosy.
