Group Workshops & Mentoring

Teaching group workshops brings together like-minded and enthusiastic florists, these days are always fun, cathartic and informative, I focus on content and valuable skills you can put straight into your practice. I teach as much from the heart as I do from my experience and I say it exactly how it is! Classes may include how to create designs without the use of floral foam, from the basic fundemental designs through to constructing large installations. I teach what I call fundamental core floristry skills such as how to ‘wire’ a flower and create teardrop or shower bouquets. How to use alternative foundations to floral foam and demonstrate building large impactful structures. I mostly teach florists but can also run workshops for flower enthusiasts too.

As a mentor I offer advice and support drawn from years of practical experience. I can shadow you as you deliver and set up your first wedding, help you plan and set up styled shoots for your website portfolio or perhaps help you with your first flower order. I talk you through profit margin projections, break down costings, offer advice on quotations, help with supply chains or help you utilise your own unique skills by offering current business support exactly when and where you need it.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop today, I really enjoyed it and found it very useful and beneficial.  I have done several workshops over the years and this one was by far the most informative, so thank you.  I really appreciated how much you crammed into the day, and the speed you worked.  All of us firing questions and requests at you, did not phase you.  It was very good to meet you and I hope our paths cross again some time.” (A.R.C March 2023)

“Thank you for such a brilliant couple of courses, your passionate enthusiasm which rubbed off in spades and your willingness to share the ‘nitty gritty’, and for sparking my love of flowers further and possibly opening new doors!” L.V (March 2023)

“Thank you to you and Fiona for the workshop… The day was glorious and I left feeling like a fully absorbed sponge full of info! It was also invaluable to meet you and other florists and just have a chance to chat and exchange stories/tips/laugh - chances like these feel few and far between so thank you for holding this space for us… I have no doubt I will be in touch again and hope to attend another workshop. As well as loving your work and how you teach, you're extremely personable and down to earth, something I value highly..!” J.H (March 2023)

“My 1:1 with Linz was the best decision Imade on my journey into professional floristry. I had the passion and the basic skills, but lacked confidence in my own ability as was still very reliant on floral foam for my designs. Linz put me at ease immediately and gave creative direction and prompts without judgement or prescription. We also covered sustainable mechanics using moss and and chicken wire, giving me the confidence to go foam free! Since my 1:1 Linz has been at the end of the phone to offer support whenever I’ve had a big job lined up and need some advice. Linz has such a wealth of experience and the 1:1 really was a great investment in me and my business”. A.S July 2022

“When I took the decision to follow my love of flowers, I decided I wanted to learn from the best. Linz teaches me what I want to learn, packs content in and is one of the lovliest, most confidence inspiring people I know - passionate about her subject. When I need to know something flower related, I turn to Linz. It’s an investment in me and my work”. E.P September 2022
