As Janette talks about the various suppliers their contact details pop up on screen, as Janette emphasises what to do or not to do Deirdre zooms in for a close-up so you know exactly what is what. Janette and Deidre have really thought of everything - from where to get glue and/or water pipes, to what to do to speed up the arch decorating process so that the florist can plan her time and finances without getting into a tizzy.
I loved all the new tips, tricks of the trade and new learning, I loved the new takes on combining faux and fresh flowers, I appreciated all the advice about where to buy the equipment and how much to buy and how to get a different style/look with minimum of effort. Meanwhile, Janette is at pains to underscore all important tips and secrets of how to get it right first time every time making this video every bit as good (if not better) than learning in a classroom situation - and this is from someone who has done the floral arch learning in the classroom environment twice. Not only that, but you can swipe backwards and forwards through the video sections, pause them, watch and re-watch, and behind the scenes Deidre has worked hard to ensure there are plenty of zoom-ins so the viewer can clearly see what Janette is explaining. This video tutorial is the business! The sound is clear, the instruction from Janette is simple and broken down into sections that the student can watch at their own pace. I have to say, I am happy to have been proven wrong. I had been among those who attended their inaugural arch workshop and could not fathom how you could learn what I had by means of hands-on tuition Through video format - there was just so much learning to it. Having attended 4 or 5 classroom modules with Janette and Deidre in the past few years, and enjoyed their 1-1 and group teaching style, I have to be honest and say I was sceptical about this online course.
