Nicole School of Floral Design & Gregor Lersch in Georgia | 25–29 May 2026

From May 25 to 29, the first session of the International Master Course took place at the welcoming Kiketi Farm, nestled among the forests, waterfalls, and mountain peaks of Georgia. Under the guidance of world-renowned florist Gregor Lersch, nearly 50 florists from 12 countries came together for five days of intensive learning, creative exploration, and artistic exchange.

The course was organized by Warja Abrosimova and the International School of Floral Design "Nicole" — represented by Marina and Alexey Bulatov — who provided everything participants needed to fully immerse themselves in the creative process, working with floral materials of the highest quality in an inspiring natural setting.

These were florists with a rebellious spirit — professionals who chose to challenge the growing trend of simplifying our profession into little more than the business of selling flowers. They came with a shared conviction that floristry is an art form, built on knowledge, creativity, and thoughtful design.

Each day was dedicated to one of the fundamental principles of composition. Through theory, practical work, and group discussions, participants gained fresh perspectives on their profession and created designs in which concept, form, and material came together in harmony.

Above all, the course encouraged every florist to discover their own creative path, unlock their individual potential, and create work that reflects their unique artistic voice. Because true mastery begins where knowledge becomes the foundation for art.
