Making the most of your class subscription | Weekly Classes

We are thrilled to be launching a refreshed version of our online floral class subscription in 2021! When we initially launched it, somewhat haphazardly, we loosely referred to it as anything from “virtual floral design education” to “weekly floristry classes online,” depending on our mood that day. Now that some time has passed and we have had an opportunity to further clarify our vision, by identifying our core motivations and intentions for providing an online educational resource, we have decided to rename (or name properly for the first time) our offering to Flowering Minds.

We wanted to give our subscribers, both current and future, a little more guidance on how to most effectively make use of this virtual floral education resource now that we’ve added extra features to the subscription in 2021.

To ensure you are keeping your mind activated and engaged, here are a few suggestions to help you maximize the returns on your investment in this online floral class subscription!

Choose one dedicated day a week

TIME. We all have know just how quickly time can get away from us. We are celebrating another New Year’s Eve and then before we know it we’ve arrived at the beginning of summer. It is so easy to get swept away with errands, children, car repairs, last minute meetings and more. Time seems as if it is a rigid, constant and linear construct, but the human brain experiences it as anything but that…our perception of time shifts, distorts, speeds up, slows down, expands, contracts, etc…it’s quite fascinating, truly. In acknowledgement of our dynamic relationship with time, we recommend that you regularly dedicate a specific day to watch each week’s newest video. Not a mental note to watch on Tuesday morning but, rather, a calendar alert on your smartphone calendar to watch precisely at 10am on Thursdays, or whatever works for you. A meaningful commitment to dedicate a regular slot of time for personal growth. Knowing that our newest videos are generally released between Friday & Sunday, it would make sense to set time aside on a day between Monday and Thursday where you know that every week without fail you have the opportunity to learn something new.

Choose a dedicated time to watch the video

In the same way that an entire week can slip right by without notice, the same can occur with the hours in a day. Certain events in our lives are scheduled to occur at a precise time, often down to the minute. Clocking in at work, doctor’s appointments and wedding ceremonies. We tend to conform to these restrictions without putting up much of a fight. The floral design processes on wedding days generally adhere very tightly to a predetermined timeline and we always make it work without fail because of the importance of the event. We would argue that personal growth should be held in the same regard as we would view a wedding ceremony timeline or any other “important” time-specific event.

A common thread that has been observed in the daily routines of some of our society’s most prolific creatives is that of self-disciplined time management by way of reserving periods each day to focus solely on activities which directly promote growth in their chosen field of work. At that time every day, without fail, they are doing the work. It’s the 10,000 hour concept. Choose a time and make it work. No excuses. If your entire upcoming week just looks too impossibly busy already, just wake up earlier on one day. 5 am, 4 am, whatever it takes. It’ll be difficult when the alarm goes off that morning, but after you have put that time into yourself, you will not regret it. Stepping through obstacles and over hurdles tends to trigger positive-feedback loops in the human psyche. We are built to struggle and overcome and nothing feels more true to our nature than to overcome a challenge and bask in the resulting growth of character. This is what successful people do. Select a time and allot at least one hour to learn and reflect, regardless of how short the floral class video happens to be.

Take notes and generate questions

It is quite easy to passively breeze through a video and feel as if the new knowledge you have encountered translates immediately into growth. When we are exposed to new or motivating ideas while watching a YouTube video or listening to a podcast, we often feel the buzz of potential. But that buzz of potential should not be misconstrued as effective and lasting personal growth. Exposure to knowledge is merely the first step towards personal growth. That new, yet latent, knowledge, must be applied, and applied often..time and time again…before that latent knowledge becomes experiential and becomes woven into the fabric of your work ethic and artistic vision. When we witness an expert demonstrate a process that they are highly skilled at (by way of their experiences applying knowledge…their 10,000 hours) we are often deceived by the perceived effortlessness of that expert’s actions into feeling that we, too, could quite easily achieve that which we have just witnessed.

Actively watch. When you watch a floral design video, actively study the nuances in the design. Identify repeatable principles or patterns that are at the foundation of any particularly desirable result and then consider how these principles could be adapted or applied in different design scenarios. You want to assemble a personalized tool kit for creating your own personalized designs. Find the tactics and strategies that speak to you and place them into your tool box for future use. Understand how to use each tool and, more importantly, when and why you would want to use that particular tool. With time and practice, you’ll learn to instinctually reach for the right tool at precisely the right moment in the design process. Search for the unanswered questions within the video, because there are always questions to be asked. This is what critical thinking entails. Anyone can ask obvious questions- critical thinkers present questions that an average person wouldn’t think of. Once these questions are asked, the average thinker sees the question as obvious, even though they didn’t come up with it.

Utilize the Forum

Take your questions and notes to the forum. Start a discussion and share the questions you came up with so we can explore that topic together. When you think critically, you will come up with new insights, questions and assumptions than others wouldn’t, based on your unique brain and experiences. Sharing your unique perspective and receiving feedback from others is how interesting and enlightening conversations are started. Community outreach is a true catalyst for personal growth.

Put the education into tangible practice

As we mentioned above, there is a difference between latent knowledge and applied knowledge. Take the education you are absorbing and put it into practice shortly after watching the video. Many people will make plans to apply knowledge, feel charged and excited about making those plans, but then fail to make good on those plans. The actual work of the taking action doesn’t “feel” quite as good as the buzz of the planning stage. Nothing good comes easy. Practice delaying short-term gratification and play the long game. Short-term gratification is fleeting while the results of long-term, determined efforts are lasting and life-changing.

Educate yourself. Make plans and follow through with them. Act on what you learn.

This is how you achieve success.

If you don’t mind me asking, are you not interested in going to college? There are so many gay people to meet, esp those that don’t drink (if you join the activist gay groups or if there’s a lgbt center at school). If you’re worried about age, I have a ton of friends that are older than me and non traditional. If you’re feeling stuck, college can help push you forward! Even a few classes.

Hello anon! Thank you so much for popping in ☺️

I’m actually in Australia so we don’t have college here, we have TAFE and university. I actually started a university degree but I was doing it online because I struggle to leave the house a lot of the time. I ended up dropping out though because of my mental health I couldn’t keep up with the workload and I felt like it was pointless going into debt for a creative writing degree, and honestly right now that’s the only degree I would be interested in doing. I did tafe as well, and I actually went in person but I ended up dropping out for similar reasons. I was doing a library diploma but I couldn’t finish it because I had to travel so far to do it and I started getting scared of leaving the house and my mental health and ED got really bad around that time. So I couldn’t keep going multiple times a week. I also got very discouraged because there are like no jobs in that field near where I live. Most people at libraries are volunteers. And when they do offer jobs it is so few and far between and competitive that I just got overwhelmed. It’s a shame though because I did complete my cataloguing unit and oh my gosh did I love it; but I didn’t want to put myself through all that mental health struggle for something with such little promise at the end. After that I really really struggled to leave the house. So my psychologist recommended doing a tafe course on something I was just interested in , not in the hopes of getting a job, and doing it one day a week in night classes. So I started doing a floristry certificate. It was hard emotionally but I stuck with it. However I started getting in my head something bad would happen if I ate or drank before hand. And the campus was over an hour away on train and it started at like 6 at night and I would end up getting home around 11. Plus I would get very anxious about going so I wouldn’t sleep. As a result I was running on no sleep , no food and no water while going. Which really did a number on me. I still wanted to finish it though. But around half way through that’s when the big bush fires hit Australia. It got too dangerous for me to travel as a result and I ended up dropping the course. I’m a serial giver-upper as it would appear lolol.

Where I live as well there are only a couple lgbt groups and I’ve meet people from both of them. Let’s just say I have a lot of abuse and trauma surrounding those groups which has honestly made me very scared to reach out to them. Also drinking culture is SO massive in Australia. It’s almost treated like a rich of passage honestly. It’s very intense how many people tie lots of their identity and social activities to alcohol here. That’s why I’ve been trying so hard in therapy to get more comfortable with people who drink alcohol because I’ve realised I’m truly setting myself up to fail otherwise because I don’t think I’d have much luck finding someone who doesn’t drink lololol.

HOWEVER ! In saying that. There are these little short courses that are run for things like cooking and sewing etc in a community center here. I’m trying to work up the courage to go there this year in the hopes of getting out of the house more and trying to interact with more people, gay or not.

Also I think with my inability to really get close to people or form strong relationships, that’s all on me and not other people. I just don’t have a lot of solid expectations or scaffolding in my head for that stuff. Which makes things feel weird and inauthentic and hard for me. I’m sure there are lots of lovely and wonderful people around me that I would be blessed to meet if I ever got the chance , but human interaction is very hard for me to keep up consistently, especially since I’m always so worried I’m going to do the wrong thing or somehow hurt people. It’s a working progress ahah.

But thank you so much for the lovely advice and reaching out to me with such kindness. It really means a lot. And I’m definitely going to try and do something akin to that in my own way. I’m so glad you have such a wonderful network of gay friends and you have found your people :) They are lucky to have you! I hope you have a beautiful day 💕💕

Should I take online floristry classes for my resume / job experience or wait to learn in person? I’m just concerned that there will be no offerings until after covid season is over…

A Guide to Working in a Flower Shop for People Who Want to Write Flower Shop AUs

Disclaimer: I have worked in exactly one flower shop. I’ve worked there for over a year, but this doesn’t give me knowledge of the whole industry. Also my boss is a fucking nightmare, so there’s that.

1. Misconceptions

Everybody/nobody actually knows the language of flowers. Some florists do, like me, because I’m a nerd. Some don’t. The main point is that flower meaning, while fun and sometimes helpful, comes second to what looks good and what’s available.

Greenhouses/Growing plants in the shop. That doesn’t really happen? We have some potted plants and succulents and some orchids, but we’re not a garden/houseplant store really, and we aren’t really the place to go for advice on keeping your house plants alive. We get our flowers from wholesalers who get them from growers. The majority of the time, we have nothing to do with growing the flowers.

Putting together a bouquet is easy. Look, there’s a reason you hire other people to do it. Not everything looks good, and you need to have a good sense of color and shape to put together a good-looking bouquet. That said...

Putting together a bouquet is hard. It’s not that hard. You learn the basics and it’s pretty simple. Work in odd numbers because that helps round things out. Use filler flowers. Most things will look good together because they’re flowers. If you want to get into vase arranging and fancy shit then yeah, it’s hard. But if you’re just putting together a basic bouquet, it’s not as hard as you think it is.

Florists know all about flowers. I’ll grant you we know more than your average person, but there isn’t like, florist school where you learn the names of everything and how long it lasts and shit. I mean, there are classes you can take, but they’re not actually necessary to being a florist? I majored in psychology and here I am. We’re learning on the fly here, and your average assistant at a flower shop is going to run into flowers they don’t know sometimes.

2. Tasks Your Florists Can Be Doing at Work

Obviously, there’s your customer assistance and bouquet making, but there’s a lot of work, and much of it is really not glamorous.

Processing flowers - unpackage, strip off the bottom leaves, and re-cut the stems, this is done when we get new flowers in

Processing roses - takes forever, includes getting rid of thorns, roses are a bitch to process and thank god my coworker actually likes doing that

Re-cutting flower - every few days, everything should get a fresh trim and some new, clean water so they stay fresh

Bleaching buckets - we bleach everything. It’s terrible. Most of it is vases and buckets that we keep the flowers in but also coolers.

Pretty much any cleaning - floristry is messy work, there will be petals and leaves and dirt all over, and we clean a lot. I probably clean more than I make bouquets...aaand now I’m sad.

Making pre-made bouquets - sometimes people want to just grab something and go, so we need to keep some pre-made bouquets in stock.

Wedding work - a huge part of our business’s profit comes from weddings, and they take a lot of work, including:

 Making bridal bouquets

 Making boutonnieres and corsages (also done for prom and other events)

Making centerpieces (also done for many other events)

Wedding consultations (the soon-to-be-spouses consult with the designer on what they want their wedding to look like and how much it will cost)

Packing up and delivering

Watering plants - if we do keep live plants, we have to take care of them

Filling water tubes - if you’re buying flowers and won’t put them in water for over an hour, we put these neat little tubes of water on the ends so they don’t dry out. You know how we get those tubes full of water? We fill them. By hand. Put them in a bucket of water and then put the little caps on. It takes forever. We do it anyway.

Taking orders - people order over the phone or online, I spend a lot of time on the phone trying to talk people through the ordering and delivering process

3. Things a Florist Hears Too Often

“Wow, this must be such a nice place to work!” and variations. (It’s not. Like, it is, because I love flowers and making arrangements and stuff, but it’s not because it’s retail, and my boss is a nightmare.)

“How long will these last?” (I don’t know. I never know. “About a week,” I say. I don’t know that. No one does. Probably about a week though.)

“I don’t really know anything about this, haha.”/ “You’re the expert!” (when I ask what flowers they want. You know what you want better than I do. Please just tell me. I can’t put a bouquet together for you if I don’t know what you want.)

“Where do these flowers come from?” (For us, mostly Holland, Ecuador, and Cambodia. No, it’s not local. Yeah, that sucks. I know. I just work here.)

“That’s expensive.” (No shit. Flowers cost money. We shipped these overseas so your ungrateful ass could buy peonies in the middle of winter. Get over it.)

9. Some Fun Facts About Floristry

What I said before about the odd numbers is true. It’s not a definite rule, but it does help to keep a bouquet looking full and round.

If you’re making a vase arrangement, greens are actually super important and go in first. It’s a really good way to get yourself started.

Those fancy little bows on corsages are really tricky to make, and I only got good at making them after working here for like a year.

There are a wide variety of vase shapes we can use, which is maybe obvious, but it’s worth noting because one might not normally think of it.

When making a basket arrangement or any kind of shape, we use Oasis foam. It’s just foam soaked in water that we can stick flowers into so they don’t dry out and die. We put in our greens first until you can’t see the foam, and then we add the flowers.

A corsage is basically just two boutonnieres stuck together with a bow and a little bracelet.

Flowers WILL FREEZE if you bring them outside in a New England Winter! This is why we wrap over the tops of them in cold weather. And if we didn’t, that’s why they’re dead so soon.

Flowers will also wilt in a New England Summer! So that’s why we don’t do deliveries if someone isn’t home to receive the flowers, and that’s why we keep flowers in coolers. They stay fresher longer if they’re kept somewhere cool.

A lot of our flowers don’t have much of a smell. Ones that do smell good include garden roses, ginestra, freesia, peonies, hyacinth, lilac, lily of the valley (we get that like twice a year, it’s very expensive but so beautiful), stock, and lilies (debatable).

At least at the place I work, if you give us a color scheme and a price point, we will make a bouquet to match that.

And there you have it! Working in a flower shop can be great, but it is also retail, which I think people sometimes forget. If you have any questions, feel free to message me! I like talking about flowers, and I like talking about fanfic and writing! So don’t hesitate to ask!

[scriptflorist]

if you know, i'd like to know which classes could be overlapped by those getting a degree in floristry and those getting a degree in forensic botany. i'm trying to have my characters to have been in the same class.

Hey there.Well, that is going to depend a lot on the university/college. They could share freshman level biology (2 terms worth), freshman level chemistry (2 terms worth), core classes like math, English (or language of nation), history, humanities, foreign language, kinesiology (phys ed).My courses were a bit different than was absolutely necessary for floristry. First because I started as a Zoology major and switched after one year. Second because at the time my university only offered the Floral Design specialization as a BS in Horticulture. I believe they’ve since added a BA option which would reduce the sciency type classes.Some of the courses that I took that *might* be useful for a forensic botanist include:Molecular Cell Biology (zoology requirement, it was evil, don’t do this)Organic Chemistry (zoology requirement)Ecology (zoology requirement)Genetics Plant Pathology Plant Physiology Soil Science General Entomology The last 5 were all taken after I changed my major to Horticulture. I do not recall if some of them were “pick from this list”, but I’m fairly certain that they were required courses or I wouldn’t have taken them. If you have a university/college in mind, see if you can find a version of their course catalog online. That will tell you what the required courses are and how many of the various electives and core classes are required so you can match up a bit better.

Florist: What Do They Do?

Floristry is the manufacture, trade, and commerce of flowers. It encompasses flower arranging and floral design, floral marketing, flower growing, merchandising, flower preparation, delivery and wholesale florists market bulk flowers to professional growers in the industry. Floristry has a long history, going back at least to ancient Greece, when flowers were used as a way to decorate temples. The earliest florist in Melbourne was probably a gardener who cultivated herbs and flowers in order to sell them to the higher class.

In modern times, floristry has been modernized, resulting in more scientific methods of flower arranging. Florists no longer simply grow flowers for the sole purpose of selling them. Florists now do it for a profit and that is part of their business. The main objective of a florist is to present the client with flowers that are beautiful and that suit his or her style.

There are many categories of florists, and one of the most popular is the wedding florist. Wedding florists deal with all kinds of flower arrangements, not just roses. They work with weddings, proms, birthdays, and graduations, among other occasions.

Wedding florist will often make arrangements for other events besides weddings. For instance, they might arrange for a garden wedding in addition to preparing the flowers for the occasion. Garden weddings are becoming more common, especially in California, where the climate is very conducive to growing flowers. A florist can create arrangements for garden weddings and take care of any other aspects of the flower arrangement. Of course, the bride should be ready to assist with planning the event if necessary.

Flower shops and boutiques have florist as part of their staff. Some florists also live in their own shops, so arrangements for events can take place there as well. In fact, many of them run their own businesses and will personally cater to weddings, graduations, and other occasions. This is usually how flower arrangements are completed at large.

Florist shops are also an excellent source for quality wedding flowers, as they often buy their stock in advance and sell them on to customers. Many floral shops will have their own arrangements in stock and will rarely have any left over. In fact, many florist shops are constantly taking orders for fresh flowers for weddings and other occasions. This means that you can get your hands on arrangements, if you want them, the same day that you order them. Many of these shops also have arrangements in stock for corporate functions, retirement parties, and various other occasions.

In addition to buying flowers from a florist, many florists also make candles. Candles can be very beautiful, and you can use them in many different ways. At a recent function, we were all impressed with several beautifully arranged candles on a table, which had been purchased by a florist several weeks before. The store did not expect its sales to be so good, especially given that it sells late in the evening.

When you visit a florist, there are several different types of floral arrangements that you can choose from. Because florists have such a wide range of knowledge and skill, they are also able to make adjustments to flower bouquets and arrangements to fit different taste. When choosing a florist for your wedding or corporate function, it is important to find one that you feel comfortable with and will provide quality services. If you do enough research, you should be able to find someone who you feel is knowledgeable and talented, and who will help you achieve the flowers of your dreams.

Florists can be found in most cities. Many have websites these days, and you can often even place an order online for your flowers. There are several different types of floral design services that a florist may offer, including wedding bouquets and flower arrangements. Before you arrange flowers for a special occasion, it is important to plan ahead. A good florist will be able to tell you what flowers you need and what kind of floral design you need. The more time you take planning your event, the less stress it will cause you.

Florists also make arrangements for other types of events, including corporate functions, graduations, and housewarming parties. You can call up various florists and find out their hours of operation, because you will want to come back to an arrangement if it is not done on time. Some florists will work only during specific times of the day, while others will work on an entire afternoon. Call the florist ahead of time and find out which floral designers will be available to help you.

If you are planning a large event, such as a wedding or a baby shower, it is important that you get in touch with several floral shops to get an idea of what they can do for you. This way, you can choose one that you feel will do your event justice. It can be overwhelming to choose a floral designer, because there are so many choices. Talk to your friends and family members about their florist preferences. Visit the florist shops with your floral designers so that you can see examples of their work. Once you have a clear picture in your mind, you will be able to choose the best floral designers.

We are still in the pandemic and in France we have just gone into another lockdown. For many 2020 was a hard year health and diet wise as gyms shut, restaurants closed and socialising was seriously curbed. That's why we decided to bump forward this episode and run it as a nutrition and health mini series to inspire, motivate and share as much as possible and get ourselves moving and grooving again! Please listen in to Susie Thompson with some great tips on how to boost your meals and get that immunity topped up.

Series 6: Get our French Economy boosted #staylocal #buylocal #supportlocal #cotedazurfrance. Welcome to the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school .

WE TALK WITH:

Danielle Wing

Hello, I'm Danni. I have been living on the French Riviera for the last ten years and have been working as a freelance event professional for the last eight. I have organised everything from weddings to corporate events to birthday parties, photoshoots and all in between. Recently I have started working with a fantastic start up based in Nice called Native Spaces. Native Spaces is a platform that connects clients with a whole of host of unique and extraordinary event spaces across the Riviera and beyond.

Nick Boot

I moved to the South of France with my wife and then baby boy 6 years ago as we wanted a new adventure as well as a lot more sunshine than we were getting in London! I set up Wildfire DJs (or UK DJs Abroad as it was then) at the same time. The aim was to provide a premium DJ, sound and lighting service to couples coming from abroad, predominantly the UK, to marry here in France. People pay an awful lot for their wedding, especially in this region, and I think it's a crime for the day to end with a party that doesn't absolutely blow the roof off. We ensure that the wedding day of each of our clients is remembered as the best party that they and their guests have attended. We provide the speakers and lighting plus organise all the music from the ceremony to the last song of the night. We make the process not only simple but fun and enjoyable too.

I moved to the French Riviera over 18 years ago after finishing a degree in International Business and French! Floristry has always been a passion of mine from a young age and when the opportunity arose to train professionally I jumped at the chance. My floral business - Dandelions & Grace was founded and I create bespoke floral arrangements for weddings, events and yachts from the cote d'azure to Provence. My floristry style is both organic and romantic, growing up in the English countryside has no doubt influenced this!

We can't deny that the pandemic has stopped many activities and that we have had to rearrange our work also by exploiting current technologies. We would like to thank our students who managed to join our in person classes (following all the safety and sanitation regulations required in Italy). We would also like to thank the students who live away from Rome (the teachers Silvia Barucci from Florence, Ilaria Mibelli from Livorno, Patrizia Ferrari from Meran, Chiara Giani from Venice and the student Neicla Campi from Ivrea) or those living abroad (Deborah Gianola from Switzerland, Fiammetta Martegani from Israel and Dana Turdean From Romania) for the commitment they are putting into online classes waiting to be allowed to do them live. #ikebana #sogetsu  #いけばな #草月 #生花 #floristry #floralart #florist  #floralarrangements #floraldesigner #floralarrangement #floristic #floristlife #flowerarrangement #floraldesign #roma #rome #italia #italy #instagenic #instagenicjapan https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJki1xlNAo/?igshid=1cvz4kv04wlpz

[the-sappho-of-lesbos]

I will never get over the fact that in high school I was so miserable and lonely and just wanting life to get better. I used to read SO many College/ Uni Au fanfics where I would dream of a future where things would be good. Is could wear clothes I felt comfortable in. I could study something I was passionate in. I could meet more people like me. I could feel more inergrated and happy.

That just blew up in my face though lol. I got too sick to do anything worthwhile in my HSC. Wrote a suicide note in one of my exams. Couldn’t go to university because I got such a low score. But at that point I’d given up on so much. Life. Chances. Happiness. Everything.

So then I went to tafe after I had finished school. Again health dropped. My mental health did a whole whirl. I couldn’t keep up with the over hour it took to get to classes. I was failing. I only ever did 2 of the units. But I was still doing my transfer unit online so I could University online. I thought that would make things better. I thought maybe that would make me happy. I ended up doing university online because I was having so much trouble leaving the house I thought doinging it online would mean I could complete it. I did it for a year and failed pretty much all my subjects. Not because I didn’t understand them. But because I was too sick and depressed to do the work. Then I was doing nothing. Then my psychologist told me I should do a floristry course once a week so I could at least get out of the house. So I ended up having to travel for over an hour. I was going okay with that and then I was getting scared to leave the house again so I dropped out again.

In high school I used fiction of university to cope. I wanted friends I could hang out with. Teachers I could impress. Have more self esteem. Feel more like everyone else. Maybe meet more gay people. Not have such terrible emotional health. Everything I thought I was holding on for just never happened.

Long time no see!

During COVID-19 I've been doing my Floristry course online and I've collected some more handsome plant bois.

Recently we've been going to classes of 3 for 3 hours, 1 day a week while maintaining social distancing and keeping sanitiser handy.

I purchased a journal that I've been filling up and wanted to include my morning workout so I decided to draw it and share it with you!

I like to have some breakfast before my workout (I try to repeat this workout 3 times a day) then go for a walk/jog before coming back and having a nice SCOLDING shower.

Though I have been slacking it lately hehe

Study at home with Adult Learning Lewisham

Learn a new skills, stay active and connect with likeminded people

Adult Learning Lewisham (ALL) have lots of courses which you can now study online.  Everything from drawing and painting to cookery and floristry. You can keep fit with gentle exercise and yoga (with chairs); or you can try pattern making, pilates, photography and much more.  And all at low cost (£10 for six weeks).

Delivering online courses has been a new challenge for both tutors and learners – a change we have all embraced. Wondering if online learning for you? Here’s what ALL’s learners have to say:

‘I’m really loving the online art course, I get fully absorbed and often continue for an hour or so after the session. It has encouraged me to draw or paint in between sessions and to buy other materials to use at home. Prior to these sessions, I was not doing any art at home despite having some materials. I love sharing images, finding out about other people’s art and meeting new people’.  

Having myself in isolation and staying at my daughter’s house, I was very happy to receive an email announcing that there would be a fitness class online. My daughter set up her device and I was able to join the online fitness class.  Rachel, the instructor adapted the exercises to suit all abilities and different levels of fitness. The music chosen was joyful, uplifting and easy to move to. Rachel is joyful and patient and a good instructor. Although missing my regular fitness class, I am happy to at least be joining in with others in the online class’.

There are a variety of courses starting next month. Visit www.lewisham.gov.uk/adulteducation to find out more.
