From time to time, a visitor from a foreign country appears in the classroom and asks if or not she can take a lesson on the same day. This is quite surprising to us only because there was not appointment and none of our instructors are scheduled to arrange a lesson for such student.
These kind of students are tourists from foreign countries and they take a chance of visiting our classroom. In the past we had such students from Colombia, Malaysia and China. As far as we have space/room and fresh flower materials available, we always do our best to accept such students to take a lesson on that day.
In this kind of case, most visitors take a lesson of Introductory Trial Budget Program. If they have a reasonable experience of floral arrangement or have educational background related to floral designs, they sometimes take lessons of Wedding Party Arrangement Basic Course. (In the past we had one student from Malaysia who took lessons of Fresh Flower Arrangement Advanced Course). In many cases, we become to know that there is no schools teaching flower arrangements in the country they are from.
Some students are already engaged in floral shop and they have interest in taking official lessons of floral designs while they are in the San Francisco Bay Area. It must be their good memory to take a lesson in California and also getting a certificate from our school is one of their purposes for visiting the Bay Area. From visitor to visitor, the purpose is different. But one thing which is clear is they love flowers and enjoy taking lessons of floral designs.
California Flower Art Academy has been engaged in educating uncountable number of students since 1990 in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley (San Jose).
If you love flowers and want to earn practical skills of floral arrangement, we can help. People who happen to be in Silicon Valley or San Francisco Bay Area and want to take lessons of floral designs, we recommend following programs;
A. European arrangement;
B. Japanese traditional floral art:
