Floristry is a special kind of art and hand-made art.

Today we will hold a master class on floristry, which will teach you some methods of composing floral compositions, which you will undoubtedly want to apply at the first opportunity.

To decorate a wedding celebration

Perhaps nothing is associated with flowers more than a wedding celebration. The sea of ​​flowers that are presented as a gift to the young, their parents, of course, a bouquet of the bride, the festive decoration of the banquet hall. However, wedding floristics are much broader. For example, you can make an original accessory - an umbrella.

For an outfit a umbrella-cane is suitable, and with an opulent it will perfectly look like an open dome. An umbrella can be made of any size, color, style, glue or oasis, fresh flowers or artificial - everything depends on imagination. But its main plus - it looks very original, unusual and cute.

In the next lesson you will absolutely learn how to create this stylish wedding accessory.

Silk floristry

Alas, but fresh flowers, how carefully they do not store, have the property to wilt and lose their appearance. However, there are a lot of subspecies of floristry, specializing in the creation of compositions of artificial materials. And silk floristry is one of them.

The undoubted advantage of it is that compositions of fabric flowers can please the eye for many years, and the flowers at the same time look absolutely alive( at the proper skill level, of course).In addition, here the art of not only creating compositions, but also the flower itself - a painstaking but rewarding work.

The subject of the next lesson will be a vintage rose made of silk.

Ceramic floristry

Another way to decorate the interior with the help of durable materials is ceramic floristry. In this subspecies, the main material from which flowers are created is polymer clay - an extremely popular and very convenient material from which everything is literally created - from jewelry, to toys. In addition, from these colors very beautiful compositions are created which are very difficult to distinguish from the living. The only negative and significant difference from, say, silk floristry - the flowers are not so flexible and airy, so count the placement of flowers right away.

And here is the master class on ceramic floristry: today we create a beautiful flower - a rose.

And here is a dandelion:

Sugar floristry

It is incredible that the usual powdered sugar can become the main material for creating sculptural masterpieces. Of course, the next object of attention is sugar floristry - the creation of floral decorations for desserts. This kind of creativity originated in the UK during the reign of Queen Victoria, and on our vast spaces is just beginning to massively spread.

Undoubtedly, the plus is that all the flowers are edible, but it's hard to imagine that someone will raise a hand to bite off a piece of such beauty.

In the video lesson we will learn how to make flowers from sugar mastic.

Oshibana - painting by plants

Perhaps the only option to use plants for a long time is to make a herbarium from them. But just dry the leaves and flowers under the press - it's very boring when you can make a work of art from them - a picture of a mistaken one, which in practice is pressed floral. About it we recently wrote. This pictorial technique is very popular and revered in the East, in China, Japan, Thailand. But we have it spread: remember the school lessons in fine art, of course, each was a picture of dried leaves and flowers. And outside the school walls, many parents collected natural material, put them in books for children, to later make an interesting composition together.

As you can see, floristry is not only the composition of bouquets, but also the creation of colors from various materials, and combining them into original compositions.
