This August we gladly welcome you at our Floral design and flower painting -summer school, dedicated to floral designing with Mihaela Pipo.
Course introduction and structure
We focus on locally found raw material and we take our time to walk up the hill, to observe and understand the plants around us. We talk about the fantastic resources surrounding us and how to use them in a sustainable and responsible way to create floral decors. The most interesting part of our course is that you will be studying alongside two lectors, Mihaela Pipo and Irina Neacșu- specialist in botanical art. While Mihaela will teach you about different techniques in floral design, Irina will support the received information with knowledge about color, composition and painting studies based on the subjects you have chosen. The course takes place daily between 10.00 and 17.00 with a one hour lunch break.
