Architecture of the Bouquet
Spring Pastel Intensive in Rimini, Italy
April 15–19, 2026

Architecture of the Bouquet is a five-days spring pastel intensive focused on building picturesque floral compositions from live arrangements.

The bouquet is approached as a visual system: a dominant flower defines the structure, mass is built through contrast of scale, and grasses and branches balance the composition. Special attention is given to layered pastel technique, transparency, light within petals, and the interaction between background and form.

Seasonal April flowers include:

·       Peonies, Anemones, Ranunculus, Tulips, Hyacinths, Roses, Lilac (subject to availability), Jasmine (mock orange), and spring grasses.

The workshop takes place in Marina Centro, Rimini, by the sea.

Accommodation is provided in a 4★ hotel with a dedicated conference room for the group.

The participation fee includes:

– 4 full working days (6 hours daily, two sessions per day)

– Accommodation in a 4★ hotel (Marina Centro) with breakfasts included

– Professional pastel paper (selected and provided)
