The School
of Flower Design
|
The Milwaukee School of Flower Design located at 1718 North
1st Street presents an eight week intensive course into the design
world of flowers.
Each class
presents a different design situation that the professional
florist or floral designer might encounter with a client, or
in his or
her home, office or place of business.
|
Our classes are held twice a week, each lasting 3 hours a session.
All classes are a hands-on
experience with all tools, containers and fresh flowers provided
for the complete design experience. In each class large quantities
of fresh flowers are shipped in for the use of the student to design
and cut. Each student goes through $1500-$2000 worth of flowers per
semester including orchids, tropical, English garden, and Holland
varieties of flower species. Each student takes his or her designs
home as well as more product to produce more samples to be reviewed
during the next class.
A
trip to the flower market is also scheduled to give the students
an understanding of how the wholesale flower market operates. Students
learn what it takes to buy wholesale and where the flowers originate
from. Flowers used in each class are shipped in from such locales
as Holland (tulips), Columbia (roses), Hawaii (tropical), Israel
(Gerber Daisies). We teach the flower lover how to design elegant
or contemporary arrangements for entertaining at home or for commercial
accounts. Amazing results come from understanding the principles
and theories of design as well as the application of those to different
flower varieties.
Everyday application is seen throughout each class as well as special
events such as weddings or parties. Personal flowers to wear such
as corsages, boutonnieres and head wreaths are covered. Fast and
beautiful table top and centerpiece designs are one of the most
popular segments. Professional shortcuts, tips and secrets to designing
for the home and office are displayed, as well as procedure for
more complicated designing such as bridal and high-style designing.
International design styles are discussed and presented as well.
Students
can approach the semester with the goals of pursuing a career in
the flower business or to acquire the resources and skills for designing
their own personal reasons of events. Classes are extremely informative
and filled with hands-on experience. Students move at a steady pace
from one design to the next.
It's fun, focus, and flowers all in one class. You will meet fellow
students, develop a life-long skill, and educate yourself on the
world of flower design and production while filling your life with
beautiful creations of your own design.
Half
semesters and single classes available to groups and individuals.
Further education in specific areas of design are also available.
We proudly recommend our sister school, Chicago School of Flower
