5 Day Master Class with Rene van Rems - March 2014

René van Rems 5 day Master Class on strategies to upgrade your techniques & styles from a commercial Euro perspective

I was fortunate to be able to attend this five day hands-on class in Carlsbad.  It covered topics which I had not previously studied, such as Sympathy work and how to construct a Mille Fleur arrangement. René offered new ideas for commercial, every day, special event and wedding work.  Quick tours of the San Diego Flower Market and the Resendiz Brothers' Farm were also included.
