Perfect Petals, Fochabers

A little background ... In 2002 I set up my own Company called Perfect Petals specialising in making bridal bouquets, cake decorations and many other bespoke floral arrangements in cold porcelain and sugar. I have run workshops and demonstrations in the UK, Scandinavia, Europe, Brazil, India and exhibited in Toronto, Canada, New York and Washington DC. I am entirely self taught, bar a two day 'Introduction to Sugarcraft' course where I found that I couldn't ice a cake to save my life - but there was potential with the flowers! My style is to create floral arrangements which are as natural as possible to make a stunning first impression. I very much enjoy the interaction in demonstrations and workshops, so concentrate on the teaching side of my business, both at home and abroad. In order to share more widely my skills I have written 4 step by step instruction books, Autumn Glory, Down The Garden Path, Blooming Lovely! and Wild in the Garden. Details of which are available on the Books page of this website. Under the various section headings on this site you will find: Workshops - Information about upcoming workshops, demonstrations and events throughout the Uk and abroad. The two bases I run my own classes from are at The Yews, Moray, Scotland and in Langworth, Lincolnshire. If you would like to organise a workshop tailored to suit yourself or a group of fellow enthusiasts either at The Yews or in your own area, please contact me directly by email or telephone to discuss your needs. When viewing Workshops just click on each workshop and the details will be revealed. If full details are not uploaded, please call for information. I like to try and bring into the workshop flowers and foliage that are in season to enable students to identify with form and structure. [...]
