Acc Art Books Creativity with Flowers: A Collection of Floral Recipes

Two masters in floristry share their expertise in easy to follow guides to help you create magnificent floral masterpieces A must read for hobbyists and professionals alike Acclaimed florists Per Benjamin and Max van de Sluis share their extensive knowledge in the field of floral art in this voluminous recipe book. Step-by-step they create bouquets, table decorations, arrangements with cut flowers and plants, wedding flowers, sympathy pieces, festive Christmas decorations and other impressive designs for the home. This book compiles all eight volumes of the popular (and sold out) series Creativity with Flowers. It covers a nice mix of commercial and artistic designs and caters both to the hobbyist and the professional. In addition to the hundreds of arrangements, both florists graciously grant us a peek behind the scenes: they explain their way of working, sources of inspiration, thought process and creativity to encourage the reader to do more than merely copy their arrangements. The ultimate goal of this book is not only to provide the necessary tools and techniques, but also to give florists the confidence to develop into artists with a personal style and a unique artistic personality.
