LEARN
You will learn how to create a classic arrangement with chicken wire using a select palette of grey, green and white. Robbie will demonstrate how this limited palette draws attention to form, texture and shape in floral design.

CREATE
You'll create a classic arrangement, and a grouped tied bouquet.
INSPIRE
As a botanist, Robbie is naturally drawn to the more enduring qualities of flora. During the Masterclass he will demonstrate how he took inspiration from a traditional setting, and applied this to his own contemporary design. He will encourage you to think beyond the limits of colour.

COURSE DETAILS
• 10am–4pm, with a break for lunch.
• All materials included.
• Tea and coffee provided throughout the day.
• You’ll receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.

ABOUT ROBBIE HONEY
Robbie Honey has been immersed in botanical pursuits since he was a young boy roaming the wild grasslands of Zimbabwe. These adventures developed his already keen visual and olfactory senses and instilled in him a lifelong fascination with flowers and their scents.

By the age of seventeen, he was studying horticulture and went on to work in the floriculture trade in Holland and Kenya. Honing his creative sensibilities further, he studied interior design and photography at art school in Cape Town. Moving to London he trained with floral designer Ming Veevers Carter and gained a thorough grounding in event floristry.

Setting out on his own at twenty-five, Hermès was his first fashion client, followed by Dior and Armani, establishing Robbie Honey as an in-demand florist within the fashion industry.

With this rare combination of expertise: in botany, floristry and the visual arts, he started lecturing around the world on floristry and writing for the Wall Street Journal.

Robbie Honey’s first range of scented candles is inspired by individual white flowers, the scents of which have long beguiled him.
