Welcome to the British Academy of Floral Art’s online level 2 Handtied unit
The Academy has supported students and developed courses with its highly qualified teaching team for over 12 years. With this unit, we bring together our wealth of experience which we share with you, to explore your inner creativity or start to create an excellent Floristry business.
The versatility of hand-tied designs is so great we have created a series of over 30 films for you to watch ranging from gift presentation, environmentally focused designs, funerals to wedding bouquets; this is the complete package. You will be supported by tutorials, handouts, underpinning knowledge films, online classes, or a combination of all depending on your chosen route.
Each film features one of our two esteemed directors Julie Collins or Tina Parkes, who will demonstrate step-by-step each hand-tied, explaining the processes and theory as they reveal to you each beautiful design. We want you to develop and enhance your skills and techniques as you access and practice the designs, gaining speed, knowledge and commercial understanding.
The films are in numerical order and can be watched in sequence, or you can follow the tutors recommended order and buying list which will be emailed to you.
You will receive an email explaining how to book your tutorials and access the handouts. Our lead tutor for this course is Kathryn Delve NDF (level 4), AIFD.
