Creativity with Flowers

Topfloristen Per Benjamin (SE) en Max van de Sluis (NL) delen hun uitgebreide kennis op het vlak van bloemsierkunst in dit vuistdikke receptenboek voor smaakvol en eigentijds bloemwerk. Stap-na-stap toveren ze boeketten, tafeldecoraties, schikkingen met snijbloemen maar ook met planten, bruidsboeketten, rouwwerk, spektakelstukken voor het interieur en feestelijke kerststukken uit hun vingers.
Dit leerrijke compilatieboek werd op verzoek van fans en studenten zorgvuldig samengesteld uit de verschillende delen van de populaire én lang uitverkochte reeks 'Creativity with Flowers'. Het beslaat een mooie mix van commercieel en artistiek werk, zodat zowel de hobbyist als de professional met dit fantastische naslagwerk aan de slag kan.
Daarnaast geven beide floristen ook een inkijk in hun interne keuken; hun manier van werken, inspiratiebronnen, denkproces en creativiteit om de lezer zo aan te zetten om meer te doen dan hun bloemwerk te kopiëren. Het uiteindelijke doel van dit boek is niet alleen het aanreiken van technieken, maar vooral floristen het zelfvertrouwen te geven om zich te ontwikkelen tot kunstenaars met een eigen stijl en een unieke artistieke persoonlijkheid.
