Joseph Massie x Marginpar

You already know that here at the Joseph Massie studio, flowers are at the heart of everything that we do. They are our business, our creative passion, what we love to share and what we teach. Where we get our flowers from too though, is equally important and the relationships we have with our suppliers means everything to us. With a philosophy of,

“We grow people, our people grow unique flowers,”

Marginpar is a company that we have had the absolute pleasure of working with in recent months and a supplier we're excited to share with you. We're particularly in love with their Marginpar Ammi. We think it is just the best quality Ammi we have ever seen and whenever we have shared it with you too on Instagram and Facebook, the comments are always insane about the quality, about how good it looks and we think it is truly such a beautiful, stand out flower.

Recently, we had the pleasure of creating a beautiful and elegant design with Marginpar’s equally beautiful and elegant Clematis Amazing Vienna variety. Creating designs with just a single flower variety is something we enjoy doing to both showcase beautiful materials, but also to really showcase great technique, design and form. There’s something incredibly honest and simply beautiful about this type of design and if you’d like to know how to create your own, then you can get your hands on a free How I Made It, step by step tutorial for The Vienna Bowl, with Marginpar’s next newsletter.

When developing partnerships and relationships with suppliers, we believe it's equally important for each side to know and understand each other. We love Marginpar’s ethos on sustainability and people and recently sat down with a member of their team to chat about Joseph's own floral design journey. We talked about training and inspirations, differences in floral design around the globe, teaching, design style and creative process and advice for students at the start of their floral design journey. You can check out the full interview by clicking the button below and perhaps take a moment or two whilst you’re there to discover more about the beautiful flowers that Marginpar grow.

We hope you enjoy discovering one of my personal favourite suppliers and are perhaps inspired to try out a design or two using a new material too!

Until next time!

Team Joseph Massie
