Thank you @lugtlisianthus for hosting my lesson with @hannekefrankema and for the great tour. It was eye opening to see all the hard work it takes to produce cut flowers for all of us florists. You have my admiration and respect for all that you do!❤️

Sympathy wreath built on a straw frame for the Masterclass with @gregorlersch here at @boermainstituutflowerschool in Aalsmeer. Each day there are more ideas and concepts to build on, and to help advance the ideas of modern floristry. #modernflorist #sympathywreath #europeanfloraldesign #internationalfloraldesigner #floraleducation

Grateful for being able to attend the second half of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. The beginning of the final 10 days of our class started with a day of techniques. Can’t think of a better way to start❤️#europeanflorist #floralstories #floraltechnique #dutchflowers #floraleducation #floralartnow #floralarts #aalsmeer

My laying hand tied bouquet for @gregorlersch ‘s Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool . Bound in my hand using a parallel method. Learning really different ways to think about a hand tied bouquet, and all the possibilities. The biggest challenge here was getting flowers, but what I could pull together worked. On to the next design!

Making something out of nothing, using gathered fo

Making something out of nothing, using gathered foraged materials. I brought a form with me to my parents home, one that I had used for photos last year. But I did not bring any flowers or botanical materials at all, so I had to get creative. It’s mostly gathered branches and foraged evergreens, but was lacking a big if color. So I looked everywhere for a solution. Small ornaments, ribbon, cording? Nope. The only thing I could find was bits of red shredded paper from a gift basket. I’ve learned to look at materials and try to see the potential they offer. Folding and binding several together in a bind wire chain gave me the color I needed! #floraldesignersofinstagram #foraging #somethingfromnothing #evergreens #branches #creative

Day 9 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituu

Day 9 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool was a day of sketching! I thought maybe a part of a day, but nope s whole day of it. Still a weak spot fir me, but a rapid improvement in one day. Definitely inspiring me to practice and become better at sketching by working harder at it. This was truly a special day❤️❤️❤️#europeanfloraldesign #creativity #sketching #designideas #floralartwork

Day 8 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituu

Day 8 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool “Wellsprings of inspiration”. Photos are heavy on the constructions before flowers, but it really is very interesting to see how they are done. Another wonderful day with another layer of thinking in approaching design. #europeanfloraldesign #wellsprings #inspiration #designinspirations #floralartwork

Day 7 of the Masterclass of @gregorlersch @boermai

Day 7 of the Masterclass of @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool with theme Asymmetry and displacement. One of my favorite days (but honestly every day was packed full of so much I loved). Apologies for being behind in posting, it always means that I have gotten throughly absorbed in what I am learning. #europeanfloraldesign #asymmetry #displacement #florals #floraleducation #floraljourney #dutchflowers

Day 6 of Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool

Day 6 of Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool with @gregorlersch . Large room decorations and the last piece is my team piece with Ivo Maryska. #floralartwork #europeanfloraldesign #teamwork #floralart

Masterclass day 5 (last Friday) with @gregorlersch

Masterclass day 5 (last Friday) with @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool . Loved this day, and learned so much about firm linear designs. Ready to go home and practice, practice, practice to increase my understanding. Last photo is my design during the practical. #europeanfloraldesign #boermainstituut #formlinear #designlovers #linear #floraldesignersofinstagram

Day 3 and 4 of the Masterclass with @gregorlersch

Day 3 and 4 of the Masterclass with @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool covering table decorations and bridal bouquets.I realized once again that I didn’t get enough photos of finished designs, which usually means I am into the moment and absorbing information. All written down in notes, and in my memory. The knowledge that I am gathering is immensely inspiring and useful. Can’t wait to put it into practice when I return home. Grateful for the time spent here learning and the days yet to come. #europeanfloraldesign #flowerslover #designideas #dcflorist #dcfloraldesigner #bridal #aalsmeer

Day 2 Masterclass with @gregorlersch @boermainstit

Day 2 Masterclass with @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool . Lots of great hand tied bouquets, ideas and concepts to take in. Loving every bit of my time here❤️#europeanfloraldesign #boermainstituut #floristics #design #floraleducation #aalsmeer #lovemyjob❤️ #creativeprocess

Some quickly taken photos from my first day of classes with @gregorlersch at @boermainstituutflowerschool yesterday. Realized that I need better shots of complete designs as I have lots of detailed close ups of techniques (which I know many people understand why). Yesterday we concentrated on organic designs which is very useful. Good to be back in a classroom and continue the journey of floral education. #floraleducation #technique #organic #boermainstituut #masterflorists #floralartwork #designideas
