Here are a few more details about this 2 month deep dive experience.
 ..........

This course is for florists who feel like they’re almost there.

You know how to design- but something still feels off.
A bouquet that doesn’t quite sing.
A table that feels busy instead of intentional.
A color palette that works… but doesn’t move you.

Field Study: Learning the Language of Floral Art was created & exists to help close that gap.

This course gives you the visual language behind why certain designs work- and how to apply those principles to your own floral voice, regardless of style, trend, or market. Instead of copying inspiration, you’ll learn how to build designs from the inside out, with clarity & purpose.

What you’ll dance away with ....

A full understanding of the elements & principles of design

Why it matters: When you understand the foundations, your work becomes more refined, intentional, & elevated. You’ll be able to identify what isn’t working (and fix it!) without second-guessing yourself. This is how you attract clients who value artistry, not just flowers.

Tabletop & centerpiece design clarity

Why it matters: You’ll understand the universal building blocks behind successful table design, no matter your style. From ingredient scale to vessel choice to foam-free mechanics, you’ll gain tools that work across aesthetics while staying environmentally conscious.

A confident, working knowledge of color theory

Why it matters: Color stops feeling intimidating & starts feeling expansive. You’ll understand why palettes work (or don’t), how to push beyond “safe” choices, & how to pitch/execute more complex, emotionally rich designs- especially for weddings and events.

The start of intentional bouquet design mastery

Why it matters: Bouquets become true focal points, not afterthoughts. You’ll learn my hold mechanics (designed to save your hands), ingredient selection, & nuanced detailing- so each bouquet feels artful, dimensional, & worth lingering over.

I’m Karis — a floral designer and botanical artist based in California. So wonderful to have you here!

Over the years, flowers have taken me all over the world — freelancing, collaborating, and learning how many different languages botanical art can speak. Teaching has become one of my favorite ways to share that knowledge, helping other florists build confidence, clarity, & a strong UNIQUE design voice.

If you’d like to follow along with more of my work and story, you can find me here.

Module 1: Design Breakdown

Elements, Principles & Color Theory

................

This is where everything clicks.

Through two in-depth lecture-style classes, we’ll unpack the elements and principles of design and pair them directly with floral application. You’ll learn more about color theory than you ever have before—and, more importantly, how to use it.

After this module, you’ll be able to:

Identify what’s working (and what isn’t) in your designs

Build compositions with intention instead of instinct alone

Use color as a tool—not a limitation

Understand how design principles translate across all floral styles

After this module, you’ll be able to:

Design bouquets with clarity and confidence

Choose ingredients that support your concept, not fight it

After this module, you’ll be able to:

Translate sketches/ideas into physical designs

Select floral ingredients by size, shape, and movement with intention

Choose vessels and mechanics that support your vision

Why I Created This Workshop

I’ve always found learning online to be… tricky. It’s easy to click play, skim, and forget, or to let lessons linger in the cloud without ever fully committing. I wanted to create something different- something intentional, focused, and structured- that could reach across the globe.
