Festive Thinking Gallery 2022

Contributing Designers

As part of Flower Thinking's Festive Thinking program, a group of floral designers, artists and arrangers created festive designs inspired by the themes in the Festive Thinking eBooks Shooting Star and Star Up High.

Join us for a tour of the designs created and be inspired, perhaps, to create festively too.

Amazing ideas. Thank you.

The sickles are very versatile and can be used in many different ways, not only for a festive design. I liked the fact that a subtle Christmas feeling was encouraged for the designs in this forum.

Enjoyed the challenge and learnt so much. Mark's ability to see what might be with a few subtle changes is amazing.

Festive Thinking provided an opportunity to work to a theme and then see just how totally different everyone's ideas are, when developing that theme. The feedback provided was clear and focused on improvement. It was also great to have certain design styles discussed - in particular the explanation of displacement from container was insightful.

That the Festive Thinking courses are extremely worthwhile, cost effective and so convenient to be able to watch the videos at home and then revue at one's leisure.
