Shipley College Leopoldo Gomez Sept2024 0001

Last week, the College hosted a showcase floristry event and welcomed superstar florist Leopoldo Gomez, a renowned Americas Cup winning international teacher based in Mexico City.

Leopoldo spent two days working with our Floristry staff and students to prepare for his intimate demonstration - teaching his techniques and inspiring our award winning florists to think about stepping onto the international stage.

He was provided with a selection of unassuming floristry materials and worked his magic in front of the audience’s eyes!

Leopoldo's style is widely acclaimed and sought after for its striking colour and texture combinations, and has gained him 127,000  followers on Instagram

"For two days the students and staff enjoyed the company and expertise of Leopoldo and his wife Cindy, who both shared lots of hints and tips.  This culminated in a fantastic demonstration, where members of the public came and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The students were so pleased to have been given the opportunity to work with this master florist."
