Meet your Instructors.
‘I’m always SUPER excited to partner with Per Benjamin and working together on our Floristic Dialog Virtual Series has been amazing. As this name implies… we engage in many Floristic discussions on diverse range of design topics, technical and theoretical as well as conversations about sources of inspiration, creativity, career and business, and whatever the frequently asked questions are in our profession.
Dive Deep into Floristic Dialog with us!’
Hitomi Gilliam
‘Floristic Dialog... What a treat this is going to be! To share, discuss, question, turn things up side down and then land safely with new perspectives, knowledges and passions for all of our future designs.
Hitomi and I will start discussions, both in theory and in practical floraldesign pieces, on different subjects through this series of workshops. My own theory, together with Hitomi's view on a number of design elements, as well as all of your different ideas on the same theme is gonna change us all forever!
