Catherine
Catherine Hampson, Master Florist, started Inspired Floristry to share her creative skills, expertise, and passion for flowers. To inspire everyone to discover, develop, and nurture their creativity and vision through flowers.
About me…
I began my floristry journey as a “Saturday girl” at a local florist shop, where I discovered my passion for working with flowers. This experience revealed my true niche, allowing me to express my love for art, sculpture, and nature through stunning floral designs. I enjoy experimenting with form, colour, and texture, using beautiful flowers, foliage, and natural materials to illustrate the incredible harmony between floristry and art.
After achieving my formal floristry qualifications and training to become a floristry teacher, I embraced full-time roles at Nottingham College and Derby College.
Earning a Master's Degree in Floristry has been one of my proudest achievements, as it equipped me with the creativity and confidence to think outside the box, leading to unique floral masterpieces.
Fast forward 30+ years to 2015, when an exciting new direction led me to establish Inspired Floristry. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and skills through creative floral workshops and skill-based training courses.
Additionally, as a wedding floral designer, I collaborate closely with couples to bring their visions to life, creating stunning floral arrangements that enhance the ambience of their special day.
After a decade of development and growth, I feel it is time to "Refocus." I am eager to:
- Adapt workshops by utilizing natural structures for holding flowers, emphasizing sustainability and our connection to nature.
- Explore the integration of crafts within floral designs through innovative techniques.
- Develop a collection of fresh designs by experimenting with diverse arrangement methods.
If you are inspired to join me on the "Refocusing" journey of Inspired Floristry; stay tuned and become part of this exciting adventure.
