Day 1: Displacement

Join Just One Day of the Gregor Lersch Workshop

Saturday 10th August, Sydney, Australia
  • Displacement

    Stretch the limits of balance and proportion with displacement, the design style made famous by Gregor. Working with the focal area(s) of our designs away from the point of origin, we’ll experiment with balance and proportion in the extremes of asymmetry.

Surround yourself with like-minded creative souls in learning from the best.

Gregor is known for his immersive and engaging teaching style, his holistic approach to floral craftsmanship and for generously sharing the knowledge he has acquired over decades.

Experience Gregor's rare gift for explaining the intricacies of designing in ways that will translate into confidence and assuredness in your own personal practice.

Perhaps the most influential teacher of Floral Design of our time, Gregor Lersch is widely known for his contributions to Floral Design Theory.

His works - perhaps most notably Principles of Floral Design - are considered canonical, and are found on the bookshelves and workbenches of practitioners, teachers and judges of floral art and design around the world. 

Most notably, however, Gregor is known as a generous and passionate teacher whose work transcends differences between different schools of floral art and design.

Mark has been designing, competing, teaching and judging for thirty years and is known for his clear, linear style as well as his patient and inclusive way of sharing his knowledge.

Workshop Day 1 - Displacement

Workshop Day 1 - Displacement

Join day one of the Displacement, Distinction, Disruption workshop with Gregor Lersch.

On Saturday 10th August, we'll explore the Displacement style of floral design, shifting focal areas away from where we'd normally expect to see them.
A natural way to explore working asymmetrically, which teaches us a lot about achieving dynamic results with visual balance.

Gregor will explain his thought processes as he demonstrates, then we'll create our own design in response. Group discussion of the designs will stimulate and encourage.

Lunch, morning and afternoon tea will be provided, as well as all materials, props, containers and sundries - just bring basic floristry hand tools.
