Win The New Francoise Weeks Online Course
Françoise Weeks is certainly no stranger to Botanical Brouhaha! I love to have her drop by occasionally to update us on her latest projects. I’m sure you’ve seen her textural Woodland and Botanical Couture designs over the years. She has traveled the world extensively to teach and inspire so many fantastic florists. If you have not had the opportunity to attend one of her workshops, then I have great news! The Francoise Weeks online course has just launched! And, I have even better news – we’re giving the full Francoise Weeks online course, a total of four classes, away to one of you!
The first series of videos introduced in the Françoise Weeks European Floral Courses focuses on Botanical Couture Jewelry. Françoise teaches you the concepts, mechanics and artistry involved in the creation of wearable rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. She discusses the tools and materials needed and walks you through the entire process, sharing her extensive knowledge along the way. From her Portland, Oregon garden studio, lined with flowers, tropical houseplants, foraged seedpods and bark, Françoise shows you how to deconstruct these floral materials to produce shapes and textures that rival gems and metals. You will begin to see the jewel-like qualities in flora all around you.
Françoise is such a gentle, genuine and generous floral artist and this comes through in her new videos. It’s a joy to spend this time with her, notebook and materials in hand, creating wearable treasures.

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

I’ve been an admirer of Francines work for ages. Gorgeous textures and use of natural materials. After spending the past few months looking after a new baby I’m in serious need of some new floral inspiration and some new techniques. I’d so love to win this to get my floristry game back on!
Francoise has been my flower idol for many years, the intricacy of her work and attention to detail is nothing short of inspiring!! As an Australian based florist, the opportunity to see Francoise in person is limited and I unfortunately wasn’t able to attend her 2014 Sydney tour with Holly Heider Chaplle. While I patiently await her return down under, this course would be a thrill to learn even more techniques and gain such an insight into her artistry that truly fascinates me and drives my creative limits.
ohh would adore to win this! fingers crossed and good luck everyone!
Craving this knowledge…thank you for sharing your creativity and unique perspective.!
