About the book:
The Effortless Floral Craftsman is the ideal guide for every floral crafter’s journey in crafting with nature. In the book a floral craftsman learns the craft, practices the techniques, and develops the skills necessary so that her talent can flourish. She discovers effortless designing is not so much easy, as it is unforced, natural, and graceful.
Christine de Beer explores in her book why we harvest, purchase, condition, and hydrate plant material, from the plant’s perspective. From there, it is all about you, the artist.
Christine explains how to:
- Collect tools and set up a design space that suits your design style.

- Remain inspired and clearly speak the language of flowers.
