In this workshop, the Fernseed team will instruct you in the basics of the spiral technique, a floral design method that reinforces and strengthens your bouquet shape so your flowers stay positioned once they're tied off with string or placed in a vase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur team will walk you through the technique first, building a spiral base with uniform stems so you can focus on shape, not design. Once you have that magic \u003cem\u003ea-ha\u003c\/em\u003e moment with stem placement (it will happen, we promise), we'll move on to a bouquet recipe pre-selected by our floral team which everyone will build together. You'll leave this workshop with a fundamental understanding of how to use focals, filler and foliage to balance the look of a bouquet while simultaneously placing stems in a sturdy spiral base. With the skills you'll gain in this workshop, you can forever arrange flowers you've grown, gathered or purchased into something stunning and giftable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParticipants won't need any previous floral design experience, but we recommend you be able to stand for the bouquet-building portion of the workshop (about 30-45 minutes) and have the ability to hold and grip with two hands.
