Creative Minds...

Under the title ‘Master Creations’, the Boerma Instituut ‘gave live’ to some new seminars for (former) students, who completed a professional course (and maybe even the advanced course), and who want to do something truly creative again. These seminars are in the hands of very creative minds, each and every one of them has got his own style  and creativity, using flowers they chose to work with.

A golden tip: In our floral design bookshop, you can find wonderful books of almost all these masters for sale. If you are interrested, you can have your book signed by the authors of your book!!!

We have 10 different books from the world famous floral master Gregor Lersch alone, and the Dutch master Aad van Uffelen has a broad selection of books waiting for you in our bookshop aswell.

2006...

These very special days are only for those who have a professional floristry diploma, so that we can assume that you have the required basic knowlegde and understanding of the different kinds of techniques. In the morning these masters will giva a very extensive demonstration, in which their chosen subject is looked upon from different points of view. After it is your turn to create something.

One thing is for sure: these will be fun and very educational days, in which the students are dared to make something very different in floral design, and to do something that they did not do during the professional course.

Of course, these days are all inclusive again: coffee, tea, soda, lunch and all the needed materials are included. The only thing you have to bring yourself are a knife and cutters.

10 October;  Aad van Uffelen with  Funeral Work.

11 October;  Wim Hazelaar with Natural Materials.
Spontaneity is very important to Wim, it’s also one of the features you can recognize him by. His whole way of working is based on this. He completely depends on the materials. ‘I don’t look for materials. I see a vase and a branch and work with what I see’. He sees the possibilities. People look but don’t see, says Wim.

12 October; Gregor Lersch with Christmas Work.

13 October;  Gregor Lersch  will give an all day Demonstration.
