Nearly 10 years of international masterclasses by European Champion Hanneke Frankema
For almost ten years, European Champion and master florist Hanneke Frankema has been successfully organizing her exclusive Masterclasses. What once began on location at growers’ facilities has since developed into a unique learning experience in her specially built home studio. In this inspiring setting, where demonstrations and shows are normally prepared, participants from all over the world receive intensive training in the floral craft.
The popularity of the Masterclasses is unprecedented: every edition is consistently fully booked. Participants travel from across Europe, as well as from countries including the United States, Canada, China and even Australia, to be inspired and guided by Hanneke. “It remains special and a great honor to welcome people from all over the world,” says Hanneke.
With her distinctive and expressive style, Hanneke appeals to a wide audience. Although her work may not necessarily be for everyone, its international success shows that her vision and approach resonate with many. Her passion for the profession and her enthusiasm for teaching form the core of her Masterclasses. Hanneke: “I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping people grow in their own creativity and craftsmanship.”
In addition, the collaboration with Decorum has played an important role in her work for the past ten years. During Masterclasses, demonstrations, competitions and publications in trade magazines, Hanneke works with the high-quality flowers and plants from Decorum. She is especially fond of combining flowers and plants. “I love mixing the two. Moreover, I personally know many of the growers, which means I know how much care and attention goes into every product. That gives extra meaning to my work.”
With a decade of successful editions and a growing international reputation, Hanneke Frankema’s Masterclasses continue to be an inspiring meeting place for florists and creatives from around the world.
