COLOR CONFIDENCE 

“I am very happy that I can make sense of a color wheel now! It was also a great reminder for how we experience color. I feel like I really grasp these concepts now, especially after you went in depth on how the eye works. I swear I learned all of these things before but this class really allowed me to focus on the information and digest it in a way that I could really internalize.”

—Emma Van Vranken

“...Janelle is a great teacher- she explains things in a great way and she has a great approach to the way she teaches. I think it gives you vital information that could guide your floral practice and thus give you an edge over other designers. Also it is a great way to invest in your craft and to keep evolving as an artist.”

—Josi Stone with Wildly Floral Co.

“Excellent course on so many levels -practical, informative and thought provoking. Learned how to expand my color palette into values so my floral designs are  more engaging for the viewer. Great resources and tools to help this process.  The course has given me the confidence to explore and experiment with color - walking around as if I am a sommelier of color theory !  Thanks Janelle .  Looking forward to Color Confidence 2”

—Martina McEnroe with Spellbound Floral

“Janelle has such a masterly of color that it was an absolute pleasure to learn with her. Her course goes in depth in a manageable way to understand color and color theory and then loops back around into application. Janelle not only provides knowledge and understanding, but builds your confidence and intuition with color in just a few short lessons. She's an amazing teacher and her content heavy course was worth every penny. I can't wait for color confidence 2! Thank you Janelle.”

—Tonya Passarelli with T. Florals

“This course was super informative. Color theory is one thing I have struggled with as a florist, and unlike other aspects of floristry in which I’ve watched myself improve upon naturally over time, color still feels intimidating to me and I lack confidence and knowledge. This course was exactly what I needed to feel better informed and confident in my understanding of color relationships and to make better color choices. So glad I took this course and excited to apply my knowledge!”

—Jo Hersey with Twig + Briar 

“Not only is Janelle's understanding of color theory amazing but the way she teaches it really gave me new found confidence as a floral designer. I've often felt intimidated by color and how to put color together in a way that isn't too busy. Learning how to create a color story to share with my clients is something that will benefit my business for years to come. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Janelle!”

—Anna Sinclair with Huckleberry Blooms

—Holly Brookins with Feldspar Floral

“Janelle embodies the spirit of "Community over Competition". I love taking her classes because she is not shy about sharing all her knowledge, experience and expertise pertaining to floral design. She wants everyone to do and be their best in their own way, which I greatly admire. By taking this course, I gained so many new tools and insights, much more than expected. I can't wait to apply them all directly to my business and practice!”

—Tiana Ross with Aurelia Flora

“Lavenders School, Color Confidence course I highly recommend. It is not only fun and encouraging but it provides just enough challenge and thought to keep you engaged and learning even when the course is finished. We are surrounded by color and learning why and how certain colors work together is something that I can carry with me wherever I go! I definitely will take another course with Lavenders and recommend it to anyone interested in broadening their understanding and appreciation in the world of color and design.”

—Re’ahna Ray

Everything from the basics of color theory to how to hook a client with color was covered, and I can’t wait to use this foundational knowledge to make my flowers shine. Color has always been something I prioritize in my designs, and now I can take those combinations further while truly understanding why they work.”

Janelle makes this topic super approachable and her enthusiasm for it shines through in how she shares her extensive knowledge and experience with us.

“This is the rainbow at the end of the tunnel,  Janelle teaches this course on Color Confidence which has been one of the best classes I have taken.  Her in-depth understanding of art, on all levels adds tremendous ancillary  information to re-enforce her extensive knowledge of color. Her approach to teaching is inclusive, sensitive and embracing, her enthusiasm is contagious.. She augments the course with additional sources and a wonderful tutorial on Canva and other tools to perfect you color knowledge.  This curse will enrich your life, even if you are just taking a walk in the park.  You will be filled with ‘joy, hope and kindness.’”

—Liza Weihman with Yard by Yard

“Janelle really is the color queen! My floral career has really felt accidental so I do not have a background in art or color... but I am thankful to get to learn from someone who delved into art with such joy! Janelle has an undeniable passion for art and color and has found a way to apply that to florals. This course is amazing for someone who wants a deeper understanding of color and how it can be applied to the flower world.”

—Lily Roden with Lily Roden Floral Studio

“This class was well organized and full of helpful resources for me to dive into, making my journey into color one that will last much longer than just the length of the class. I'm so excited to use the tools and vocabulary we learned to expand my painting practice!”

—Chelsey Frost with Chelsey Frost Art

“I've always been a big fan of Janelle's work and taking her class just further showed me what a true master she is with color and overall creative process.  Janelle made the class interesting and fun, and even though I work in the music industry and was probably the only person in the class with almost zero visual art background or education, I can truly say I feel more confident with color within the context of my own creative hobbies. Thank you Janelle!”

—Marchese Taylor

“Janelle’s course on Color Theory was exactly what I was looking for! It has helped me feel more confident in my product selection and more capable in articulating why the products chosen will work to create the cohesive look the client is looking for.”

—Elizabeth Spencer Hoke with Generations Floral Company

STILL LIFE DEMO

“Janelle has a carefree, yet warm approach to teaching. I left class with ideas on how to style my own floral designs with found objects within my home.”

—Karry Patel

“I loved Janelle's Still Life Class because it was a glimpse inside her creative process. She gave us precious suggestions and tips to follow to create Still Life, but she also showed us the importance to let the creativity flow.”
—Giorgia Pinotti

LIVE CENTERPIECE 

“I was so impressed with this class. The value was literally insane bananas crazy! I was tempted to skip the processing video but glad I didn’t because I learned so much. The Fundamentals of Design document and accompanying video were amazing. So intentional and thoughtful. Janelle explained concepts that I hadn’t thought to apply to florals before. Janelle truly has a fresh, approachable, yet extremely intentional way of designing. The product I received was spectacular and worth the investment alone. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn new techniques and distinguish themselves and their business.”

—Kate Campbell 

Honest and legitimate skills taught in such a laidback manner. Funny and lighthearted, making high end design seem more approachable! There's SO MUCH to say about why I'm endlessly inspired by Janelle, but I'll leave it with...she inspired more confidence in me as a designer! To critique myself (knowing WHY I need to edit) and be able to refine my work as a result of her words breathing confidence in to me is PRICELESS!! 10/10 would recommend!!

—Jessica Kill

“The thing I loved most about Lavenders' centerpiece course was the breadth of information we received! Workshops I've taken part of in the past have all over promised and under delivered- which has made me hesitant to sign up for additional courses. I was SHOCKED by Janelle's generosity and cannot say enough positive things about my experience. Highly recommend!”

—Chas Thomas 

“Janelle is a natural at teaching and breaks down complex design theories into terms that anyone can understand. I feel much more confident using the techniques I learned from her centerpiece class in all my floral designs. The flowers supplied for the class were in excellent condition, and the 1 on 1 critique with Janelle was very insightful.”
