🌿 What You Will Discover: From Supermarket Bunches to Professional Designs

This course breaks down the myth that beautiful floral design requires expensive materials. We focus heavily on practical, budget-friendly techniques that unlock maximum visual impact.

• Skill Levels Welcome: This is an inclusive environment. It is perfectly suited for absolute beginners with zero experience, self-taught enthusiasts looking to break bad habits, or intermediate hobbyists eager to polish their existing skills.
• Industry Standards: You will learn fundamental design principles, structural techniques, and balance mechanics taught to a high commercial standard.
• What You Will Learn: We cover a wide variety of shapes, styles, and seasonal arrangements. You will master the art of transforming simple, budget-friendly supermarket bunches and foraged garden pickings into show-stopping, professional-looking centrepieces.
• The Atmosphere: Our evening classes offer a warm, relaxed, and friendly environment filled with laughter. It serves as the perfect “me-time” escape from the busy working week.

✂️ Course Requirements & Preparing for Your First Week

To maintain our hands-on approach, students are responsible for sourcing their own dynamic materials. This allows you to personalise your arrangements to match your own home decor or colour preferences.

• Weekly Material Lists: You will be provided with a suggested shopping and foraging list one week in advance. You will need to bring your own selection of fresh flowers, green foliage, and appropriate containers/vases to each class.
• Floristry Tools: Over the 10-week period, you will gradually build up your own personal floristry toolkit. To ease you into the course, professional florist scissors are available to borrow during your initial weeks.
• Workshop Supplies: Specialty mechanics, such as bio-degradable floral foam (Oasis), will be available to purchase directly from your tutor during the class at wholesale cost.
