The Flower School: The Principles and Pleasures of Good Flowers - Joseph Massie

Aged just fourteen, Joseph Massie began his first Saturday job in a local florist in his hometown of Liverpool, UK, and it was here that he discovered his love of flowers began. Joseph considers himself to have been privileged throughout his career to exhibit at, and win, some of the world's most incredible floral shows, including winning five consecutive Gold Medals, and four Best in Show titles, at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show. \nWith a clutch of prestigious, international awards, Joseph turned his attentions to artistic endeavors, working across ten countries on a wide variety of art projects including botanical couture, sculptures and installations. Joseph's artistic work has been featured in press including The Times, The Independent, The Daily Mail, and his work has been commissioned by international institutions and brands including, The Boston Museum of Fine Art, The New York Botanical Gardens, Universal Studios and Sky Television. \n \nIn January 2015, Joseph founded his own Floral Art Studio. The art studio sits alongside Joseph Massie Flowers, a luxury flower studio dedicated to delivering some of the UK's best floral wedding and event design, and Joseph Massie's UK School of Floristry. \n \nWith the release of his first book, The Flower School, Joseph's goal is to provide an invaluable tool that can be cherished and referenced time and time again as people embark on their own floral design journey.\n
