School of Floral Design

I am so excited, I start Phil Rullodaç—´ design class on Monday. I had so much fun helping (and learning) from Cathy and Phil's show last month I decided to sign up for school. I have been doing the business side of my shop for three years now and decided it time to learn design.

Congratulations on your decision to attend the design class! It's great that you want to learn and have access to Phil's classes. I bet you'll be a star pupil.
Enjoy the opportunity.

Day 1. All I can say is Wow! What a powerhouse course. There are so many great ideas I think I will need a bigger brain : )
We did a dozen roses many different ways, more that I knew were possible. The class is full, I took a picture of the class with their rose bouquets in front of them. I'll try and post it if I can figure out how.

Gosh - I got to see Sharon for a whole minute today. The school is next door to the shop but we were busier than normal for a Monday in July... and the pile of 'to-do's' on my desk keeps growing...

IMO the school is unique in that students get to see the lessons they learn being implemented in a retail setting at the shop next door. As far as technical execution goes, there's no finer teacher than Phil. He's a mechanics nut and that's part of what makes his work photogenic and deliverable. (He's also really frugal so little goes to waste.)

The advice I give every student is to take lots of pictures and to write copious notes. They're a great help when you get back to the 'real world.'

That is so cool. I wish I lived in CA so it would be convenient for me. I would like to do it anyway sometime.

I took Phil's Event class in June. It was awesome...lots of great tips.
Phil has a lot going on in his talented mind.
