Summary
A profession that appropriately dries fresh flowers and manufactures dried flower products.
Description
Dried flower makers select purchased fresh flowers based on quality and shape, and perform processing to remove moisture using methods such as natural drying, silica gel drying, or press drying. After drying, they handle color fixing, color correction, shape forming, assembling into products like wreaths or bouquets, final inspection, packaging, and shipping. The work includes delicate manual adjustments and prolonged standing work, requiring knowledge of drying conditions specific to each flower material and quality control techniques. Diverse designs are needed for products targeted at wholesale markets, retail stores, and e-commerce sites, so attention must be paid to work efficiency and hygiene management.
