Course Title: Flower Arranging for All.
Term Start Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026.
Weekly Session Time: 7.00pm-9.00pm (Evening Sessions).
Course Duration: 10 Weeks.
Total Tuition Fee: £115.00.
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 and 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.
Speak to Our Tutor

Our expert tutor, Kay, is incredibly passionate about welcoming new students. If you would like to have an informal, friendly chat with her over the phone before signing up, please let us know.
