Often referred to by the media as 'the floral artist of his generation', Joseph Massie began working with flowers at the age of 14 in his home town of Liverpool. Over the course of his illustrious career, Joseph exhibited and won some of the world's most incredible floral shows, including winning five consecutive Gold Medals, and four Best in Show titles, at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Joseph's work has been featured in The Times, The Independent, The Daily Mail, and his work has been commissioned for brands such as Universal Studios, Sky and The White House. Joseph is the founder of Floral Art Studio, Joseph Massie Flowers, and Joseph Massie's UK School of Floristry. 'The Flower School' is his first book.
At Marginpar, we are big fans of his work. He created several works of art with flowers from our range. His breathtaking Astilbe waterfall and Delphinium flower cloud went viral on social media. Check them out in our interview with Joseph:
Want to get cracking? Joseph created an amazing design with the very first white Clematis cut flower: Vienna.
