 Testimonial from a student:

I drove 8 hours to attend Françoise’s workshop.  It was worth every mile.  Françoise’s style and techniques helped to expand my floral design skills.  Working with more vegetation than flowers requires thinking about 3 dimensions, textures, space and movement.  Françoise provides great demonstrations, lots of techniques and a gentle and supportive environment that allows participants to  practice while creating their own style.  To me, this was the next leap I needed in my floral design career.  This is very trendy and eco chic.
