About this course

During the course we will be focusing on using a range of techniques and skills including how to use a five-leaf petal cutter, a single rose petal cutter and a rose leaf cutter. Following demonstrations by the tutor using the Rose cutter FMM 'The Easiest Rose Ever', you will select some of these techniques to develop your own skills and knowledge.

No experience is required as this is a beginner’s course. You will learn about how you can use these techniques creatively, by looking at and discussing various books and websites who influence and motivate.
