Power Workshop
Join us for an Event Design One Day Power Workshop in Brisbane, Melbourne & Sydney. You know how to plan an event - we will show you how to design and style one. This workshop is suitable for anyone wishing to master the art of styling and design for special events. It caters for those wishing to work in weddings, corporate events, private parties and product launches.
Styling and designing an event is very similar to set dressing. It brings all the elements of the design to life exploring your creative side, but also requiring a certain amount of technical knowledge. This one day power workshop will help you to discover unique and innovative ways to design and transform environments for all types of venues and budgets. Lots of hands-on creativity, conceptulisation, tips and tricks will help you on the way to producing professionally styled events. Learn how to add those special touches to your event such as: distinctive table centrepieces, fabric decor, ambient lighting and special effects.
The workshop will include:
- The Razzle Dazzle of Event Design – what’s hot and what’s not. One of the most used tools we have at our disposal is colour. We will look at what is ‘coming’ in terms of colour trends and inspiration
- From Concept to Completion – exploring the creative brain storming process that leads to unique events. We will discuss the way we can use design techniques to maximize the way we look at creating any special event.
- The Fizz Factor – using catering as a decorative theme element within your design is a great feature. This section covers emerging and trendsetting pieces in catering for the 2nd part of 2010
