How to Create Forever Flowers

From her studio in the lush green hills of Devon in the UK, dried flower artist Bex Partridge will teach you how to grow, harvest and arrange everlasting flowers, showing you how to make wild, soulful creations for your homes and spaces that will last forever. In this course you will be taken through every stage of the process, from learning about the range of flowers used for drying and their different drying techniques to expert guidance on how to pick, harvest and store. Throughout the lessons Bex will share plenty of ideas for creative floral displays - from single stems to flower clouds - and will show you how to arrange like a pro in three step-by-step projects, helping you develop the skills to create your own show stopping dried floral arrangements. *Photography by Zachary Culpin
