As one of only twelve Dutch Master Floral Designers in the entire world, Dr. Dirk Van Leenen, M.H., will conduct floral design classes in our local Mesa community. If you have always wanted to learn floral design, your opportunity has arrived. The 10-week course will be in-person at the Las Sendas Trailhead Members Club.
Dr. Van Leenen has taught these classes all over the world, most recently in Phoenix and Scottsdale. “His knowledge of floral design techniques, as taught in Holland, makes him the best teacher I ever met,” said one class attendee.
Students will learn to arrange a fresh floral creation in a certain style each week, in two-hour sessions. This is truly a hands-on learning experience and students will be able to take their creations home with them each week. “This is so relaxing,” said Jean Perrin, a former student. “It’s like therapy!”
The small group of Dutch Master Floral Designers did a great deal of research into floral design and created their own theories, based on surveys they did in many different areas.
Enrollment starts now, on a first-come basis. Classes are limited to 20 students. The price of the entire 10-week course is $495 and includes all materials. The classes begin the first week of October and will be held at the Las Sendas Trailhead Members Club on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, at 6 p.m.
