We began with a recap on the previous day to cover any questions that may have arisen from buzzing brains!!
With tea and pastries the students sat back and rested their florist fingers while listening to the 'Theory of Color'.... we talked about all aspects of the color wheel and how this relates to our designs within floristry. It's always interesting to hear each of the students color preferences, it shows how different we all are!
We followed this by each producing a color mood board designed to help the students and their future clients choose a great color scheme together. For some an eye for color doesn't come naturally and it's a great tool for our 'up and coming' florists.
We kicked off the afternoon by introducing Peter Kay (no not that one!). Peter is a Social Media expert and we asked him to come along and explain the benefits to our students. Lizz was a little apprehensive to begin with, struggling to see where she was going to find the time to keep up regular posts on Facebook, Twitter and Pintrest!! Lizz was quite prepared to be convinced and Peter managed just that!
By the end of the afternoon the students were all buzzing and eager to sign up to Social Media...
We'd like to thank Peter for his time and expertise he really did listen to our students answering all their questions, adapting his teaching to their requirements we highly recommend him...
