The Sampler course is ideal for individuals who want to experience our school and take home substantial knowledge about the art and craft of flower designing. This course features three comprehensive projects covering design styles from American to European traditions. Renowned instructor Michael Gaffney will guide you through each project and graciously sign copies of his book, Design Star, for course participants.

The class was enjoyable, the price was good. It was a bit challenging to find the location though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Michael exudes excellence. His assistant, Josh was very efficient. They were organized and professional. The class was prompt and ran like a well oiled machine. Listen, I learned more in 4 hours and walked away with 3 arrangements. I took an 8 hour course in December and walked away angry! Michael also interjected humor, while still being firm. Kudos! I look forward to taking the 101.
