When we commenced the workshop I was quite surprised we would be working with one material and not much else. I was challenged throughout the process which resulted in a very beneficial outcome. Although I was challenged throughout the workshop, I also felt supported greatly with advice and tips from Mark. The opportunity was wonderful and i feel i have learnt so much from carrying out each exercise. Thank you Flower Thinking for this great opportunity to be challenged, to learn, to be supported and to be part of the #designdisciplineexperiment.

Design Solutions saw a different approach where only two materials were to be used. This was challenging for me as I like to work with a variety of materials. Using my previous studies with Mark as a guide I chose beans and anthuriums. Using all parts of both plant materials. Including the seeds and leaves of the plants. A great experience it, pushed my creativity. I found a different perspective of the value of all parts of the plant.

This 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.

The design discipline course made me reevaluate the way I approach my floral design. It gave me some new insights and pointers on how I can improve my design thinking. I enjoyed having time between each session to think about and create my design for each assignment. Mark’s evaluations and constructive comments about everyone designs were enlightening. It was so interesting to see how each student interpreted the weekly assignments. It was really great. Definitely recommend to any floral designer that wants to improve their craft.
