Meet Vivien.
I am a florist, artist and general maker living, working and teaching in melbourne and south east victoria.
There have been many seasons of Studio Hollingsworth. From studying fine art to studying floristry. Working as a florist at one of Melbourne’s largest styling powerhouses, to solo floral side gig, making arrangements on the top of my share house recycling bin, to a full-time, full-service floral art studio with a talented team alongside me. I’ve transformed and evolved. Learned and grown. Been in bloom and out. Just like the flowers I hold so dear
HOLLINGSWORTH is now the ultimate representation of who I am as a creative. My every joy and experience in life, art, flowers and business, all planted in one place and ready to grow once more.
what I do
-
I don't take on a full calendar of wedding or event clients these days I still work on creative floral work. this looks like bespoke personal flowers, installations, editorial, and collaborative work.
I am also an artist . I paint, draw, paint murals, table cloths and make carpets. I work on orginial pieces, comissions .
I share this part of my life in my sketchbook and on my Instagram.

I love teaching and sharing skills with people and host workshops in Gipssland, Melbourne and beyond.
I offer professional one-on-one workshops and teach your team options. I also occasionally host recreation or hobby workshops is floral design.
I run still life drawing workshops which blend togeth my two favourite things, art and flowers.

I have spent years developing tools to help with the pain points in running a floristry business.
I have turned these into a digital toolbox that you can use in your own business.
