What is it like to be a student on this course?

I wanted to do something artistic, practical and creative and also learn a skill that I could use in the future. I really loved doing the practical work especially making hand-tied bouquets – by the end of the course I was able to make bouquets to give to friends and family.  I remember making a punk styled hat for College Open Day exhibition – I liked doing that because it was different and we could create designs of our own choice. The skills I have learnt in floristry will help me in any creative industry so I will have a wide range of choice for jobs.
