Florists Review tip of the week

April 27, 2015 Florists Review Magazine

Design Technique: Stacking

Stacking is the orderly placement of like materials, either individually or in bunches, side by side or on top of each other with no space in between. Stems of materials may be stacked either horizontally (the most common) or vertically. With horizontal stacking, stems may be arranged closely together in the side of a block of foam or literally laid on top of each other. Here, Cocculus leaves are threaded on to the stem of a Gerbera. Each of the leaves is punched with a hole punch.

One in a series of Design Techniques from the Florists' Review Design School book.

Flowers Everywhere

The smell is fantastic!!

Wow we have fresh flowers everywhere in the classroom this week!😄

These are sample designs to inspire the students in EFD class( explore floral design)

Wednesday, April 15, 2015

EFD class... look at what we are creating

These are my sample designs for the students. This week is our second time to design and we are learning to create everyday designs, proactive designs that have a big look in design and are quick and profitable.

We aren't creating those same old and tired design styles...same concepts of 3 roses in a vase, mixed flowers in a vase, 2 carnations etc....

The students are doing a great job, watch for the designs here!😄🌸❗️

A students review of the flower classroom & instructor

Today I am sharing a Students review of the flower classroom class: Explore Floral Design

Her class began in January for 12 Mondays and ended on April 6th. I ask every student that enrolls into this class to give me and the classroom a review, I know I can't impove myself or the classroom without this review of what the students are thinking!

**Please tell me about your experience:

Great! Going into this loving flowers, but knowing nothing about floral design. Learning as not just playing with flowers there is a lot to know, so I have learned alot. This has been a life changing experience for me. I look at flowers in a new way also. Thank you.

**Did the class hit or miss the mark for you?

Has hit the mark for me. I am very happy with this class. Over & above.

**Did the cost of the class= the value??

Cost= the value...yes I don't regret spending this amount & happy to continue to invest in myself with you & spend more.

**What was the best day of class for you??

Best day of class...Every Monday was like a vacation day for me. Shopping was fun.

** What was the most challenging??

Nothing comes easy; spray on Sympathy day.

My Review:

Learning from Christina has been so helpful in so many ways. She is very willing to give good advice in order to help you achieve whatever your floral dream might be. After taking the 12 day basic floral design class I am happy to continue to invest in myself and take her 5 day advanced class also.

At the end of the day, you go home with beautiful floral designs that you are also proud enought to give away.

I feel blessed to have found her.

Vicki Gayle

To Vicki:
Thank you so much for taking the time to share yourself in the classroom! I am also blessed to have such amazing students that I learn so much from as well.

The journey that you take in floral design is challenging...but so rewarding in so many ways I can't begin to express....but if you join this amazing experience you will be on the path of floral PASSION!

Sincerely,
Christina Burton-Fox AIFD

Raves & Reviews

I was looking for a refresher floral design class, where I could build on the skills I learned years ago and learn new skills, and that’s exactly what I found. Christina is a talented and knowledgeable floral artist and instructor who presents a well prepared curriculum. I was pleased with the abundance and variety of flowers we were given to work with, the tools we were given and the pleasantness of the classroom. The 12 day class I took is not an easy workshop style course. I was challenged and at times discouraged, but I learned so much and was delighted with many of the designs I was able to make with Christina’s instruction and guidance. She won’t let you off easy, and even asked a classmate to throw her design in the trash and start over(!) but I liked that, because I was there to learn and learn I did! She sometimes questioned my choices and placements when I was headed the wrong directions with a design but she didn’t give up on me or my designs. I also learned a great deal about the marketing and business side of the profession. I believe with hard work and ongoing practice this class could prepare a student like me to work in the floral industry. I have gained a connection with a world-known floral artist who is willing to offer ideas and advice in the future. I have benefited greatly from the resources Christina shared with us in the form of websites, email lists, floral design books and connections with wholesale houses. I would love to go back someday and take some of the specialized design classes she offers. The class was worth my time, effort and money. I would highly recommend it. Receiving my completion certificate at the end was very rewarding for me!
The flower classroom is a place to study serious floral design in a fun relaxed atmosphere. It is for those who want to become a professional florist to for those who just want to improve their designs for personal use. Tammy Ivy
Dear Miss Tina, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed your class. It was such a wonderful experience. I had looked for such a long time to find a class where I could learn more about floral design. I could not have imagined a class such as yours! From flower processing to design elements; your teaching style allowed me to learn and understand so much more about this creative field. I am forever thankful to you. You have given me a great deal of insight into the floral industry, and opened my eyes to endless possibilities for myself. Thank you for sharing your gifts with others! Sincerely, Errica Parsons
Learning from Christina has been so helpful in so many ways. She is very willing to give good advice in order to help you achieve whatever your floral dream might be. After taking the 12 day basic floral design class I am happy to continue to invest in myself and take her 5 day advanced class also. At the end of the day, you go home with beautiful floral designs that you are also proud enough to give away. I feel blessed to have found her. Vicki Gayle
Anyone wanting to learn about floral design should enroll in the "explore floral design" series of classes. Christina's "Explore Floral Design " classes cover every aspect of floral design from the proper handling of fresh floral materials, the materials used in floral design,color and design theory,the mechanics of floral design as well as the "business of floral design. The course content is well organized. The studio setting is pleasant with more than adequate space and equipment. Christina supplies the clases with a wide variety of materials for studetn use. Group instruction is enhanced with a one-on-one guidance as needed. If you have an interest in floral design, you'll be glad you enrolled. Beth Ball
Christina knows flowers and the flower business! At the flower classroom she will teach you in an easy, laid back and practical style. Lee Ann
Christina I can't thank you enough for this wonderful experience with you at the flower classroom. I have grown so much professionally. I feel like a butterfly with new wings. :) I would love to continue to work with you and learn from you. You are the best! Lee Ann
Christina is an amazing instructor! What makes a great instructor? Competence in the subject , ingenuity & creativity, the ability to understand & work with people, the desire to share,give time & effort to support others in achieving high level skills. This defines Christina and the experience you will have as a student in her classroom's explore floral design class. Knowing nothing about handling fresh cut flowers,however I graduated after 10 weeks with a well-informed knowledge base, hours of practice at a newly acquired skill and a mentor for life!! Thank you, Christina from Sheryl Ewert (student)

Groupon/Had a wonderful time with Christina, she is a great teacher and explains the art of arranging so I could understand. We all after her instructions were able to complete a beautiful bouquet to take home.
Groupon/The class was so educational and entertaining. Only 6 people can attend each session so you get hands on attention and instruction. The owner is very nice and is a great teacher. The project you leave with is beautiful.
Explore Floral Design class is a great way to learn the basics of floral design. Christina is an amazing teacher. I loved this class and am looking forward to taking her advanced classes. Shaina Jo Maag
Explore Floral Design class was wonderful. If you want to learn about designing flowers this class is a must. Christina breaks the content up into very managable pieces & continues to give suggestions on techniques to embelish your design. In the course you are exposed to all the greens and flowers that exist in the current market. Step out of the box and explore flower design. You will enjoy the class, Joyce Mc Mahon

Great Experience!! We were able to design with a wide selection of beautiful flowers, awesome opportunity. I'm very visual & loved watching you deign in demos to show how to add creative touches and take our design a step above. I learned much more than basic design, Thank you!! Cindy Heckman
