Introduction to Floristry Workshop

About this course

The workshop introduces core floristry methods through demonstrations and guided individual projects. Participants learn to select and condition flowers, combine colours, create natural shapes and extend flower longevity. They make a vase arrangement using sustainable, foam-free techniques, followed by a larger-scale design in an antique vessel. The final project is a hand-tied bouquet, including arranging, wrapping and packaging it for transport.
