A little about Rebecca Foote, who will be leading the class:
"I’ve been working in the floral industry for over 20 years
* I started as an apprentice, at age 17, in central NJ at a local mom & pop shop. I then accepted a position at an upscale flower shop in northern NJ. After working there for a year as a designer, I became head designer for the following 12 years. This included helping to lead a group of designers through weddings, events, celebration of life florals, holidays, parties, daily orders, as well as training not only assistants, but up and coming designers.
After I moved to Albany NY in 2015, I accepted a position as a designer for a prestigious floral company that did high end weddings and events. Some of these events included helping to design and set up the entryway at the NY State Museum for “NY in Bloom” as well as coming in 2nd place in the Capital Region Flower and Garden Expo floral design competition.
After moving to the finger lakes in 2018, I opened my own floral company called Foote Florals. Foote Florals did weddings, events, workshops/ classes, grew some of our own cut flowers, and dabbled in celebration of life designs along with providing local companies with flower bouquets to sell in their own businesses. I closed Foote Florals in 2023 to pursue other passion projects and spend more time with my baby girl.
* I’ve continued to be creative in other ways using outlets such as embroidering, homesteading/ gardening, leading our local Girl Scout troop, painting, interior design, resin, dried floral arrangements and wreaths, wood burning, and jewelry design.
