Joanna's Flower Power Flower Design

Notable London florist Joanna Pyliotis hosts this instructional program on creating winning floral displays. Proprietor of the Out of the Bloom flower design school, Pyliotis is an amiable teacher who demonstrates and explains techniques for various floral arrangements, including hand-tied bunches (such as a bridal bouquet) and difficult-to-work-with lilies. Cautioning viewers to minimize the trauma to the flower, Pyliotis offers tips on hand positioning (“There, my two thumbs kissing”), exfoliating and clipping stems, using leaves and fruit to decorate the finished product, and effective water-packing and gift wrapping. A thorough step-by-step course suitable for both beginning and more advanced hobbyists, Joanna's Flower Power Flower Design is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
