Last
week we had the incredible privilege of attending an Amy Merrick floral
workshop in a converted historic old factory in LA's Arts District
called The Unique Space. The whole experience was probably the most
inspirational day of my life. From day one of my floristry career I have
been a worshiper of Amy's signature beautiful natural style, firstly in
her work at Brooklyn's Saipua and later in her own business. Amy is not
only a gifted story teller but also remarkably down to earth
considering her talent and fame.
Brunch
was provided by the city's hottest catering company Heirloom LA and we
were lucky enough to be joined on the course by Tara, the co-owner of
the company. Not only did the spread look magazine worthy everything
tasted as awesome as it looked.
The
Unique Space is exactly the innovative, creative environment you
couldn't help but be inspired by. High ceilings, timber floors, white
washed brick walls and the dappled Californian sunshine provided the
perfect surroundings. I left with not only the technical skills to
replicate Amy's beautiful style but also a re-ignited passion,
enthusiasm and confidence. Immense thanks to Amy, Siri, Tara and the
team at Heirloom LA, all the other students who made us feel most
welcome and Kim for giving me this incredible once in a lifetime
opportunity.
