On Friday, November 7, 2025, Michael Derouin, nationally recognized floral designer and educator, will demonstrate how variation in structure, rhythm, and placement can yield entirely different outcomes from the same botanical elements. Michael will introduce the audience to essential mechanics and foundational design principles—discovering how restraint, clarity, and thoughtful composition can quietly transform a space.
Michael Derouin is a floral artist and educator with a career shaped by decades in luxury floral design. He creates refined floral compositions for private clients, and offers thoughtful, hands-on instruction to floral professionals and enthusiasts alike—helping to define, refine, or rediscover their creative perspective. Whether designing or teaching, his focus is the same: to create an experience that remains long after the flowers fade.
