About Me
ABOUT ME
I’ve worked as a design teacher for most of my life. I love sharing knowledge and skills with others. Alongside my teaching, I’ve worked as a florist for my wedding agency Julia Gauld Flowers for 10 years. I’ve arranged flowers for many weddings and events. But at heart, I will always be a teacher.
I believe in a hands-on approach to teaching, actively involving people in their learning, and encouraging them to find their way style, and passions. I was trained at the famous McQueens Flower School in London as a florist and I have a degree in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins, London, and a Masters of Arts from the University of Staffordshire.
MY PHILOSOPHY
At the Berlin Flower School, creativity comes first. I teach classic floristry techniques, but my main focus is to teach sustainable floral techniques. I am constantly looking for fresh input for my course from the UK, USA, and Asia. I do not believe in a single approach. Instead, I teach floristry skills across a range of different styles, because I value the freedom to explore and the passion to create. I also believe in teaching really small groups. So far I have taught over 300 students successfully.
BFS LOCATION
The workshop room of the Berlin Flower School is in the culturally vibrant area of Berlin Neukölln in a typical beautiful apartment of the 19th Berlin style.
