One of the sources of inspiration for Floral Design is technique, or craftsmanship. A designer who has professional techniques, processes and craft skills at the finger tips will always find ever more exciting new ways to present the beauty and variety of flowers and plants. This is the reason "Floral Craftsmanship" provides a wide range of inspirations, systematically illustrating the processes involved in 60 activities and techniques of Floral Design, introducing each one in word and image and describing the concrete use of each one on the basis of 150 individual arrangements.Several step-by-step photos and sketches provide a detailed explanation of the constructions and arrangements. Helpful supporting constructions are also described, as are several forms and shapes that can be used in various different ways, plus the most cost-effective floral materials and other components.Today especially, as more and more people wish to learn and experience Floral Design, the subject is transforming into an exciting mixture of landscape design, table design and ornamental culture. This book is a response to this tendency. Gregor Lersch's name vouches for the professional integrity of the work; new perspectives are provided to an entire profession, the identity of the profession is expanded, yet always retaining its definition through flowers and plants.

The game of opposites is – not only in floristry – one of the most expressive design elements. It is particularly important to find the right dosage of two extreme positions in order to find the level between tension and rest, colour and non-colour, diversity and reduction that we intend, and can then apply to make our emotional statement. This can not be achieved without proper practice. Gregor Lersch has analysed the main contrasts in floristry which are used to steer emotion. Using many step-by-step examples, he illustrates the possible transformations and nuances. The examples are designed to help identify what happens when we make certain changes, so that the designer is able to make informed decisions between harmony and contrast, and is thus able to develop a feel for the correct dosage at a given moment. In this way he becomes more and more skilled in the application of an elementary design principle.

Contemporary bridal bouquet techniques. Hand-tied bouquets for all seasons. Free standing bound workpieces. In the second edition of Gregor Lersch's book Floral Craftsmanship, the existing range of descriptions of floral techniques is now supplemented with the broad theme of "tied bouquets and what has developed from them". Here bouquets and above all bridal bouquets, free tied arrangements, as well as other things of which one can actually only guess that they originated in a bouquet, are introduced. Contemporary examples of applications of techniques, as well as of their meaning within the design process are provided. It is afterall only in the execution that the chosen technique proves itself to be sensible and intelligent. 150 arrangements relevant to design practice are supported with a separate technical section and the obligatory pull out margin in order that each arrangement can be practically copied.
