Gill McGregor NAFAS Demonstrator

NAFAS

 

Gill has been a member of NAFAS (National Association of Flower Arranger Society) since she was just 11 years of age and performed her first role as a floral art demonstrator at just 16. Gill feels that she was so fortunate to have discovered NAFAS that she encourages everyone who has an interest in flower arranging to seek out their nearest NAFAS flower club; 'Enter competitions and express yourself, enjoy making and creating, it is not the winning but the participating as art is subjective and if others like what you do, so much the better'.

 

Gill has travelled the world demonstrating her artistic talents to audiences in countries that include; Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, and to many parts of the UK and able to vary her delivery from audiences ranging from 20 to thousands.

Her passion evolved from creating floral designs to win competitions into a career path where she sought to run her own floral art business. At 19 Gill had secured her first qualification as a florist and her first employed position in a London West End florist; securing her first management role in her third week.

 

Gill continued to pursue her love of flower arranging by studying flower arranging at college in the evening; whilst continuing as a floristry retail manager by day. Such was her prowess that her college encouraged her to become a flower arranging teacher; becoming a flower arranging teacher in the evening in her early 20's whilst continuing in floristry retail by day. Gill also continued her studies in Floristry achieving the highest certification before becoming a qualified floristry teacher. Gill's success straddled these two worlds to become a further education manager and teaching both floristry and flower arranging at their highest level.
