Back to Basics - Hogarth Curve or Lazy S

This is the sixth video in my new 'Back to Basics' series which aims to teach the basic design shapes in traditional flower arranging/floristry. In this video I teach you about the Hogarth Curve or Lazy 'S' and guide you step-by-step from start to finish.
The 'Back to Basics' series is ideal for beginners looking to train as a florist or start a new hobby with arranging flowers. These tutorial videos are also suitable for intermediate arrangers looking to update their skills.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I hope you come back next week where we learn about a very traditional Horizontal.

Thank you so much Sharon, I really really enjoyed watching you create that beautiful and gorgeous Hogarth curve. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤

Thanks Mags, not everyone likes the Hogarth Curve, they think its old fashioned, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

A great tutorial! I wish I had found this the first time I tried this design, I found it hard to create. I like how you have showed the viewer what sort of foliage to use and how to start with the S shape first. I will try this again following this tutorial. I found it really easy to follow. Great design!

Thank you for your lovely comments, this isn't an easy arrangement to create and having the right materials to start with, will really help you get the best shape. Good luck

Hi Sharon, love your videos. Is there one that shows how you did the backdrop piece also? thanks, Kathryn

[@sharondower]

Do you mean the one hanging on the wall? If so, then no there isn't a tutorial
