TESTIMONIALS
Dive into the experience as seen through the eyes of the students who have attended the previous edition.
Ursula Gunther AIFD, EMC
The EMC program introduced structures and constructions into my floral design approach in the US, encouraging personal and artistic growth. The Mastermind Experience provided valuable feedback, fostering continual improvement and emphasizing artistic freedom. The Advanced stage brought a significant shift in focus, boosting my confidence and resulting in unexpected outcomes of elevated skills and enriched self-assurance.
Barbara Astbury, EMC
Choosing a painting initially, the added challenge of interpreting various museum disciplines like sculpture proved invigorating. The session surpassed my expectations, providing invaluable learning through exposure to diverse artistic forms, and the visit to the wholesaler was delightful, offering a wide array of choices. Meeting the Advanced group created a sense of camaraderie, and the Mastermind Experience, unexpectedly exceeding expectations, left me filled with gratitude for Tomas's dedication, making me eager to participate again, perhaps in a different country for a fresh perspective.
Anahit Hakobyan CFD, AIFD, EMC
The program significantly shifted my design perspective, emphasizing creating for personal experience alongside clients, crucial for avoiding the 'everyday designer' mindset. Connecting with participants, witnessing their growth, and appreciating valuable components like morning wholesaler trips left me inspired and eager for the ongoing evolution of everyone's skills.
