4 x 75 mins

Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 1 to 50

  £495 (£50 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

In this Introductory 4-week floristry course in London, you will learn about the Japanese art of flower arranging called Ikebana.
Ikebana dates back to the sixth century when Buddhist monks made floral offerings for altars.
There is great importance on seasonality, minimalism, and thoughtful placement of stems that are in tune with nature.
We will provide you with stunning, seasonal branches, stems, and flowers as well as an Ikebana container and kenzan. You will then be able to practice at home and perfect your technique and understanding.
This class is taught by Nono - our Japanese Ikebana Master - and follows the curriculum of the Ohara School of Ikebana where she studied. Therefore if you wish to apply, you can obtain an official certificate offered by the Ohara School for an extra fee.
Unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy learning something new.
Class time is just an estimate and may vary - it is the maximum allowed time. Everyone works at their own pace and the number of people attending will impact this.

  • 5/5 from Shama Haque-Saeed, attended Sep 2026: An amazing 4 weeks. Nono was a fantastic teacher. The techniques and confidence I’ve gained are amazing. Thank you so much.
  • 5/5 from Jessie Kruger, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed taking this course with Nono... and my oh my how my arrangements have improved! Nono is talented, kind and patient and she explained compositions and techniques that elevated my ikebana arrangements. Field trip to the New Covent Garden flower market was the cherry on top. Couldn't recommend this course more.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Rebello, attended Feb 2026: Got this class as a gift. Nono is a wonderful teacher who has an eye for detail! Absolutely enjoyed learning with her.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2025: Had a thoroughly enjoyable 4 weeks learning ikebana with Nono. You get a much more detailed understanding of the fascinating philosophy and techniques than you can cover in an individual workshop. Plenty of opportunity to explore your own creativity, plus you get to take home lots of beautiful flowers each week to practice. Fabulous!
