Over two days of intensive instruction our studio workshops cover the core skills required to create a range of designs, from breath-taking bouquets to foam-free arrangements. Practical sessions begin with a teacher demonstration, followed by friendly and constructive feedback for each individual and their work. We discuss naturalistic design, seasonality and colour theory, as well as answering questions in relaxed open group discussions on a variety of topics from growing, cutting and conditioning flowers to event work and photography.

DON’T MISS OUR DESTINATION WORKSHOPS IN PROVENCE & EDINBURGH - FULL DETAILS BELOW!

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Our aim is to provide every student with a unique and immersive learning experience. We will teach you the practical techniques to achieve naturalistic flower arrangements - from creating bouquets using a ‘hand vase’ to utilising kenzans and chicken wire. We will encourage you to experiment with colour, proportion and shape, to explore symmetry and asymmetry and to freely apply the techniques you have learnt, exploring your personal connection with flowers in a creative and inspiring space.

Who can take a workshop?

Anyone who loves flowers! From beginners and those exploring a new artistic medium to seasoned arrangers, gardeners and cut flower growers looking to develop their floral craft, reignite the fire or practise fresh techniques in a sustainable way. For overseas students or those travelling from outside of London, click through to the page below for help on where to stay, places to eat and things to do in our wonderful home city.

Every workshop we host is highly seasonal, arranging with what is readily available naturally and locally - from our own garden in the Hampshire countryside and the immediate fields surrounding it. You will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and variety of garden flowers through their organic forms, textures and colours. This is a chance to focus on a particular moment in the year. Whichever dates you choose to visit us, you will be surrounded by extraordinary natural materials - blossoming and decadent, wild and weedy, edible, medicinal and scented.

“Being with you in your incredible space with all the beautiful flowers - it really does make a difference to get the live experience”

What is included?

Refreshments and a light lunch are included on both days. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements and we will do our best to accommodate them. Snips, aprons and all mechanics are provided for the duration of the workshop. You will be able to take home beautiful flowers and a special gift. We stock a small range of our own brand ceramics and Japanese tools for purchase from the studio.

Workshop tickets are £1050 inclusive of VAT. There is a split-payment option constituting a 50% deposit to reserve your place with the remaining balance due 6 weeks prior to the workshop start date. Places are limited so that we can ensure everyone benefits from individual attention. Please read our Flower School Terms and Conditions in full before booking your place.
