Mara Ellis
Creative director
Mara teaches composition, editing, and the confidence to make a strong first decision.
Our story
A flower school rooted in attention.
Prismleaf Floristry began around a shared studio table where makers compared stems, tested vessels, and learned that a beautiful arrangement is often the result of patient editing. We now bring that same generous, practical spirit to every course.
Our mission
We help people develop a lasting relationship with flowers through accessible instruction, honest process, and respect for seasonal materials. Our lessons value curiosity over perfection and clarity over spectacle.
What we believe
- Seasonality matters. Limitations can sharpen a designer’s eye.
- Technique creates freedom. Solid mechanics make room for expression.
- Good teaching is specific. Every lesson should leave you knowing what to try next.
