At the Boerma Instituut, the 2-day Hand-Tied Bouquets courses are accessible to anyone interested in creating beautiful hand-tied bouquets. They also provide an excellent opportunity for professionals to refresh and refine their skills.
In the daily operations of a flower shop, creating a variety of hand-tied bouquets forms a significant part of the work. Therefore, having a solid technical foundation and thorough basic knowledge is essential to work professionally and efficiently.
No prior knowledge or experience is required to join this course.
In addition to this beginner course, we also offer Level 2 and Level 3, for those eager to learn more advanced techniques.
What will you learn in the Handtied Bouquets Course, Level 1?
You will learn the professional techniques for creating floral designs by hand. This includes various methods and styles.
We use natural, seasonal materials as much as possible during our courses. At the end of the course, you will receive an English-language certificate of participation.
