What was the inspiration behind this book?
AIFD ® wanted to create a collectible book to showcase the artistic talents of select AIFD ® members from around the world and to share the artistry of flowers. This is the first edition, and we hope to produce other volumes to be released mid-year, to coincide with the AIFD ® National Symposium every July.
How would you define this book?
This is a “floral art” book that showcases the amazing things that can be created with botanical materials used as the medium. AIFD ® members love to share with others the possibilities with flowers, but clients sometimes can curb floral designers’ creative edge; in this book, our members fully express themselves through flowers without limitations and constraint.
For what audience was this book developed, and what do you hope readers will gain from it?
Artistic Floral Design 2020 will appeal to anyone who loves flowers and has an interest in floral design trends, styles and techniques. By spending time “dreaming” through the pages of this book, readers will find inspiration, encouragement and knowledge that will stimulate their individual creative growth. They also will gain a better understanding of the art of floral design and the integrity and value of quality, creative floral design.
