A beautifully guided introduction to the art of floristry, our Beginner’s Master Class is designed to build your creative confidence, refine your technique, and give you a true taste of what it feels like to design with purpose — even if you’ve never touched a flower before.
In this elevated half-day experience, you’ll create not just one, but two distinct floral designs: a sculptural table arrangement and a hand-tied bouquet, using only the finest seasonal botanicals selected by our studio team. You’ll be gently guided through each step by our experienced florists — from understanding how to select and prepare your materials, to learning the design principles that bring structure, balance, and elegance to your work.
With a focus on both form and feeling, this immersive session explores the why behind each technique, not just the how — helping you create floral pieces that are both beautiful and intentional. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into composition, movement, colour harmony, and the simple yet vital techniques that extend the life of your arrangements.
Perfect for complete beginners, curious creatives, or hobbyists looking to refine their skills, this class offers a nurturing, inspiring environment to explore your potential. You’ll leave not only with two beautiful floral designs to take home, but with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to keep creating long after the class is over.
Whether you’re exploring a new hobby or testing the waters for a future in floristry, this is where it begins — with hands full of flowers, and a mind full of possibility.
