On last week A two-day master class was held in Almaty by the famous Russian florist Slava Rosk, whose work can be recognized from afar, thanks to his original weaving and the use of non-standard materials. I learned from Slava why he became a florist, what materials a bouquet is made from, and Slava also shared his life principles. The seminar was organized by the Almaty school of floristry Siberia, Oksana Sherebirova and Yulia Dialektova.
I was immediately born so crazy. If my mother were here, she would confirm. All the children swam in the river like children and made Easter cakes out of sand. And I wove a wreath of dandelions. The police constantly brought me home because I stole peonies from the flowerbed and gave them as gifts school teacher. I constantly carried cuttings from friends, planted new flowers, rummaged in the ground, collected beautiful sticks and twigs. And the week before the New Year, I traditionally decorated the Christmas trees for all my neighbors! I liked it that much.
My journey in floristry has begun from the teacher Stepan Zakharovich Kara, he is the former director of the arboretum, and it was this person who helped me develop my skills. He is still like a father to me, he gave me the opportunity to really understand what I want and how to move in this direction. After 20 years, I moved from Moldova to Russia and began studying at various floristic institutes with famous florists. There were many people who appeared in my life and helped in many ways, for example, the Guild of Florists and Sergei Karpunin, who lobbied for my interests and introduced me to the right people. But I myself worked very hard to develop my abilities to the maximum.
I started my career with wedding shows. I organized a fashion show where I presented my flower bags, hats and all sorts of accessories. The program had two main parts, an intermission with live music, the guests enjoyed the buffet and thanked for the gifts. I also organized floristry evenings. People came, relaxed and watched my work as I created floral masterpieces from the most ordinary things. Thus, I demonstrated my creativity, my skills. And after that, master classes and seminars began, because florists wanted to learn my technique and vision.
My specialty is as a highly qualified florist, lies in four things. First, I use those non-obvious materials that other florists do not pay attention to. Second, my approach is characterized by painstaking handmade, thanks to which you can look at every detail for a long time. Third is my style, I would even say, my vision and unique ideas in floristry. And fourth is the price tag, it is quite high.
I teach florists how to make bouquets from literally nothing. Everyone will be able to create beautiful bouquets from expensive materials and flowers. But when you can make a bridal bouquet from two flowers, two sticks and one bead, it's really appreciated. I have never tried to fit my work into a specific style, but there are works by which I am recognized. These are weavings: wedding handbags, bouquets, hats, accessories.
I like the current changes in the market, finally, florists truly wanted to learn and develop! Previously, they were indifferent to what and how they did. And now florists and decorators want to become more professional, they want to surprise their clients. This change makes me very happy! Thanks to the competition that spurs me on. And it's boring to stand in one place. Firstly, florists want to do something interesting themselves. Secondly, I want to understand the technology, how it’s made beautiful bouquet in a picture from the Internet.
I'm not a classicist or an avant-garde artist. I am a florist who works in different styles and first of all it depends on what the client wants. Today he wants classics, so I create classics, but with a twist. In my bouquets, everything comes down to the idea, how to present it. When I create a bouquet, I start from the person’s personality. Because everyone has their own preferences. If he doesn’t like lilies, then why offer him these lilies? If he doesn't like roses, but loves wildflowers, then you need to work in this style. When you reach the level of a professional florist, people trust and don’t ask questions, they just say “do it beautifully!”
All my floral works have meaning. You can read the story in them, as if you are looking into the soul of a person. Bouquets are like a person, and everything in him should be beautiful, both soul and body. I work in such a way that the audience wants to look at the bouquet for a long time. A classic bouquet with greenery and flowers is always beautiful. But bouquets with meaning are a thousand times cooler!
I love plant material. When I come to a city for master classes, I try, in addition to Dutch flowers, to focus my attention on what grows around me: virgin grapes, hops. After all, each region is famous for its unique vegetation. If I conduct a seminar in Moscow, then we go to the forest. We collect hogweed, bark, and wildflowers. Because sometimes you want to do something different, which will never work with Dutch flowers.
I really love working with the most common materials., with which you can do very unusual work. I notice ordinary twigs that lie under my feet, but they have an unusual bend that will make the bouquet unique.
Each branch has its place in the bouquet, every flower has its place in the bouquet, every greenery, just like a person in society. Everyone has their place, you can’t just pick it up and shove it into a bouquet without understanding the reason.
You can teach any florist my technique, for example, creping, stringing, weaving. But it’s more important to teach the combination of materials in a bouquet. For the florist to create works that are deep, meaningful, and a large number material. I teach people to work with materials like paints, to feel them. Feel the palette, feel the material, be able to create textures through the material, play with color. You have to feel it!
A person is a huge flash drive. A flash drive that accumulates information constantly. The more we load ourselves into useful information, the faster we gain experience. You can learn anything, including floristry. Anyone can become a master! Anyone can develop their creativity!
It's all about skill! Inexperienced person even with expensive materials it will create such nonsense. An experienced florist can be compared to professional chef, which from two eggs, a pinch of salt and flour will create a culinary masterpiece.
You need to understand to whom you are offering this or that style.. Some people are not psychologically ready to accept a bouquet with wire weaving; to them it seems aggressive. You need to experiment slowly and get people used to it gradually.
Customization of material to the region is key point florist work. You need to understand what story can be introduced into a certain interior or landscape. I really love hogweed because it can be painted, sawed, cut, and glued. It does not grow in all regions. But I draw clients’ attention precisely to the original vegetation that exists in their region. I'll tell you about the city of Sochi, these are forests and real jungles. There are abandoned pine cones lying around on the roads, vines are strangling the trees, cut magnolia branches are lying around, which are good both alive and dried, and you can also observe huge thickets of pampas grass. But none of the florists pay attention to this vegetation, and in vain, you can create decorative miracles with it. I saw how the gardeners trimmed the yucca, I collected branches and made arrangements, necklaces and garlands. No one could believe that such beauty could be made from yucca.
Even a fool can order Dutch flowers. We need to work with what is available in the region. And on top of that, this will give florists the opportunity to slightly reduce their costs. I teach florists in crisis situations quickly find replacement colors.
It's important to me not just to make money or surprise someone with new floral delights. I want myself to enjoy the process and goal achieved, I want to see and feel beauty. This is what I call proper prioritization. And good work is always rewarded.
I leave all my problems in another separate room.. Otherwise, this burden prevents me from creating. When I leave the room with problems, I find myself in a different world. I see how a flower opens, I see a twig that lies or greenery that bends beautifully and shines in the sun. You have to be able to switch.
I don't like to lie If I don’t like a person, I’ll tell him to his face. I think this is correct. I don't know how to make friends behind the scenes. I am honest to myself and to people. I don't take what's not mine. This is also written in the Bible. I can give mine away. It's probably from my mother. As a child she told me “Be good person. And you will be everyone’s favorite!”
I live the way I want and do what I want. This helps me achieve my goals. I have my own point of view on all events in life and always do what I think is necessary.
I am constantly developing, working on myself. And this applies not only to floristry. Without development, I would be forced to flounder in the same muddy water. Therefore, I myself constantly attend various seminars in my specialization.
I'm inspired by... oh I'm inspired by a lot of things. I travel a lot and do it with love. I am inspired by communication with new people, there is a constant exchange of information. I make quick sketches and come to the next seminar with new ideas. That is, it turns out that I am inspired by the environment, good talented people. It allows me to think and create.
Who will serve you. This needs to be taken very seriously. Follow trends. Follow what is happening in the world and are not afraid to experiment. Don't be afraid of other people's opinions. Think about whether you like it yourself, whether you feel this bouquet is yours. Don't be afraid to experiment! If we were afraid to experiment, we would always eat bread with butter and not know that there are other spreads that can be spread on bread.
And I wish the florists of Kazakhstan to develop and not stop trying bring something new to the market, despite the local mentality.
