THIS is beyond words. My friend Maybelle sent over these photos of her calligraphy workshop in Australia. She is based here in San Francisco but travels the world giving really amazing workshops. When I was in Australia last October I got to meet the talented people behind this creation. (Seriously, what is up with all the Australian talent? I am blown away every time.) This class was hosted by Megan Morton, the stylist to the stylists who runs The School. They host all kinds of cool classes there. The florals for this event were done by the talented Phyllip Van Huynh at Katie Marx Flowers. He is a genius! (Interesting story, he was a Doctor here in the US before he quit and became a florist in Australia!) I love that the bulbs and roots were left on, it makes it feel so much more organic. I’m now going to beg these guys to come to some classes here in the US!

Beautiful! It’s amazing what people come up with. I’d assume they left the roots and soil in so that the tulips would continue to live. They can probably mist with a water bottle and keep them alive for weeks.

Holy cow, that’s both beautiful and genius! Why didn’t someone think to leave the bulbs on before?

That is so beautiful. It’s also a huge coincidence that i stumbled across The School only recently and 2 days ago was lucky enough to participate in a vignette class with Megan Morton and Kara Rosenlund

How crazy that this is happening in Australia. I live in Memphis, and saw this exact type of installation at a wedding just last weekend. I had never seen anything like it, and the effect was amazing!
