You don’t have to enter a floral competition to start thinking like a successful competitor.

Whether you’re an experienced competitor, preparing to enter your first competition, or simply curious about how floral designs are judged, there’s always something to discover.

Flower Thinking’s Designing to Win program is about understanding what makes a competition design successful — from interpreting the schedule and recognising the marking criteria to making design decisions that earn points.

And you don’t have to create a design to take part!

Join as an Observer and enjoy the complete learning experience. Follow the work of participating Designers, hear the analysis of their designs, discover where marks could be gained or lost, and see how their work develops through feedback. Observers receive the same educational materials, Design Forums, recordings and opportunities to ask questions as Designers.

It’s an opportunity to learn from many different approaches, without the pressure of producing your own design.

Let me show you the way to design success - in competitions or everyday.

Designing to Win begins 19 October.

Four designs. One designer. Four very different answers.

Kerry Kerry Thomson created these works as part of Flower Thinking’s Design Solutions program — taking a two materials (Gypsophila & Strelitzia leaves) and exploring them through very different forms, proportions, directions and relationships.

From hand-held to horizontal, sculptural to circular, each design asks a different question and arrives at its own solution.

That’s what’s exciting about limiting your material varieties and searching for answers. There isn’t one “correct” Design Solution. The challenge is to make deliberate decisions and discover your answer.

What would your solution be?

Design Solutions begins again on 14 September, in two time zones. Details via the link in bio.
