  • Sarah, Nebraska, USA

    This [Design Solutions] was a fantastic class and I highly recommend it. Mark opened up my creativity and taught me to look at every element in different ways.

  • Mary, UK

    Mark is a true creative master, he is able to communicate in a clear and decisive manner with encouragement. Enjoyed all the design challenges and have grown and learnt a lot during the Design Discipline course [now called Design Solutions].

  • Arlene, Australia

    An inspirational course which I would recommend to Floral Designers and Artists. Mark is an exceptional and gifted educator.

    (Design Directions)

  • Sharon, NZ

    While I found the course challenging, I have learnt enormously from those challenges. The One Container, Five Elements course certainly gave me a new awareness of all the elements of designs and to consider them all when designing. I would unreservedly recommend this course if you have a passion for ongoing learning in your floral design.
