How you’ll learn
Four Evenings, Four Beautiful Designs.
Each week is hands-on and relaxed. You’ll watch your tutor demonstrate a design, then have a go at making your own to take home. You’ll work with fresh flowers and learn a real range of styles across the four sessions, at your own pace and with plenty of support.
Across the course you’ll try hand-tied bouquets, floral arrangements, funeral and wedding designs, seasonal designs and designs for events. It’s a lovely way to learn a new craft, build a little confidence, and make something beautiful with your own hands.
What You'll Make
- Hand-tied bouquets
- Floral arrangements
- Funeral designs
