What Should Your Focus Be for 2024 When It Comes to Your Floral Design Skills?
The EMC (European Master Certification) believes that learning floral education shouldn’t have any borders or inconveniences and everyone who wishes to kick off their floral career should have the opportunity to do so. For them, it's about starting with a foundation and expanding your creativity beyond its boundaries.
For those who are interested in leveling up their floral design skills, they offer an EMC Core Program. It is divided into 3 'modules' and is focused on craftsmanship and insight into the floral design process. To break the lack of inspiration or even pinpoint what you feel may not be working in your creative process, you must learn the methods to come up with your creative ideas in the first place. These building blocks offer you the ability to boost your creativity and discover your signature design style. EMC Designers nowadays, thanks in part to their EMC education, have made their mark on the Floral Industry worldwide and are emerging leaders in the Floral Art World.
Understanding design leads to better results! Trending colors and textures in a stunning design are explored as a case study for the Advanced Course students.
As a teacher at EMC, renowned florist Tomas de Bruyne shares:
"In EMC we teach our students to focus on how to interact between design, techniques, knowledge, and sense of time. Basically, these 4 elements determine your creative personality and your creative DNA. If you manage to add a surrealistic vision, if you bring out the best of your imagination, you’ll start to create from out of the box, rather than trying to fit in a box.
Bringing the unknown to the known world is a concept that should guide all creative metiers. In our creative world IMAGINATION is the magic factor all big artists have and explore, it is the one thing that brought them to be an artist. Imagination relates to the ability to transform every idea, in all its forms, and make it a reality. In a conscious creative stage, as an artist or designer, fear becomes excitement and problems become challenges."
More About EMC
What is EMC and what do they bring to the world of floristry and floral design? Who they are, is an educational team that uses its platforms to expose designers to the Infinite Creative Effect (ICE) and teach with a driven, engaged, and passionate team. Designers are introduced to new design styles, shapes, color combinations, techniques, materials, and creative ways of using those materials.
Their signature EMC Core Program (previously mentioned), shows its students how to look at flowers closely by discovering the differences in their personalities, emotions, and possibilities, thus learning to use them in the fullest variety of ways. EMC creates a culture of engagement for floral creatives in pursuit of enhancing their potential. Additionally, they also build a community stimulated by the same growth and ambition as the global floral industry.
The EMC Core Team is a passionate group of international floral designers who help build the Conscious Creative Community
Arthur Williams, a former EMC student shares his experience:
"EMC pushed me to dig deeper into the thought process of 'the why' I design the way I do. To truly connect and define your personal style is enlightening, to be able to look at other's work, be it floral design, fashion, or architecture, and to understand it on a completely different level is a real game changer. EMC has been the best educational experience in my career."
Why choose the 'Infinite Creative Effect' to boost your design level and skills? EMC ultimately believes that every single designer is constantly seeking and yearning for a continual flow of creative ideas, ambition, and inspiration. This only comes from implementing the knowledge that they are taught and taking it to the 'knowing' stage.
Once this has been accomplished, they allow themselves to be changed, or open toward becoming a conscious creative', one that does not seek out the next trendy 'trick or tip' while discovering the infinite creative possibilities that surround us. Hence, their Core Program brings this to fruition for European Master Certification graduates.
Passion for flowers is the driving force behind every designer. Knowledge fuels passion and gives you energy to reach your infinite potential!
