WorkShop at Malibarn Flowershop & Herbarium
On April, 2023, Mr. Wyn, an interior design lecturer, led a group of his nine students to study and do the workshop outside the college at Malibarn Flowershop & Herbarium.
Maliban Flowershops is the flower shop that focuses on creating social value by sourcing flowers from rural communities, thereby distributing income and promoting community empowerment. The goal is to promote locally produced goods and encourage communities to cultivate their own products. This sets them apart from other flower shops, as they prioritize creating value through art and creativity and giving back to society. In other words, Malibarn is a truly social enterprise-focused store.
In this workshop, the students met Ms.Julia Kim-Davies, who is a partner and floral crafter at Malibarn as well as a Cultural Specialist for UNESCO Bangkok. The main activity of the workshop was to use various colors from food to make a bouquet in their own unique style, using color theory and artistic elements as a guide. Through the beautiful nature of flowers, the students learned various techniques and concepts.
In a world where technology reigns supreme, it’s easy to forget the significance of nature. However, taking a closer look at the natural world can help us appreciate its special qualities. Let’s have fun and discover the beauty of flowers through this workshop.
