Join this course and take a modern approach to floristry. This non-accredited course offers a fresh, modern approach to floristry, blending traditional techniques with contemporary design trends. Through a series of engaging projects, you’ll explore floral design from beginner-friendly arrangements to more advanced creations, all while working with flowers, foliage, and essential floristry tools. Each session is interactive and collaborative, providing opportunities for discussion, experimentation, and feedback. By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a portfolio of stunning arrangements and gained the confidence to create floral art for any occasion.
Step into a world where floristry is more than just arranging flowers, it’s about creativity, sustainability, and discovering beauty in the everyday. This course is designed for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on floral design, whether you're a beginner, an enthusiastic hobbyist, or aspiring to build a career that blends artistry with eco-conscious practices.

Unlike conventional floristry courses, this experience is rooted in sustainability, resourcefulness, and playful experimentation. You’ll develop an eye for hidden beauty, explore budget-friendly alternatives to cut flowers, and learn techniques that reduce waste while enhancing creativity. By the end, you’ll not only master key floristry skills but also cultivate a mindset that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Throughout the course, you’ll work with rich autumnal hues and seasonal materials, incorporating dried seed heads, rustic textures, and foraged elements. Learn to create arrangements inspired by nature’s transitions, using pumpkins, berries, and foliage gathered from gardens and hedgerows. Repurpose storm-fallen branches into striking centrepieces and wreaths, blending traditional floristry skills with sustainable design practices.

This course is an invitation to reimagine floristry, embracing the season’s beauty while crafting with intention and creativity.
