A celebration of winter branches

Whilst we love the beautiful structure of branches, we must admit we are very excited about the promise of spring and the blossom branches that are starting to come into the workshop

Constance Spry

Constance Spry, Pioneer of modern floristry.

I am reading a book about the life and work of Florist Constance Spry who revolutionised the world of floristry and empowered Britons in the mid 20th Century to create amazing flower arrangements made from all sorts of un-assuming materials such as berries, vegetables, twigs and weeds.

She once said “I do feel strongly that flowers should be a means of self-expression for everyone.” and we tend to agree. What an inspiring woman.

In celebration of her wonderful approach we have just launched our first spring workshop – details on The Flower School page of our website

Minami Takashima’s styling is all about classic shapes, organic textures, and unusual plant-like accessories – some of which she hand-made herself.

This photoshoot of a ‘Darwinian’ nature boy was taken by fashion photographer Cecilia Austin in a greenhouse style studio.

Macoto Murayama: Inorganic Flora

Working on the borderline of art and science, artist Macoto Murayama uses cutting-edge software and 3D modelling to combine the soft organic forms of plants with the cold representation of technical sketches.

The results can be seen at Inorganic Flora, now showing at the Frantic Gallery, Tokyo.
