Final Step

hands on experiment on making the perfect arrangement, this is the step you will experience making layered, color corrected dried flower arrangement and finalise with a ribbon or rustic tie.


Fresh flowers give you a week; this one will still be beautiful next year. In this relaxed, hands-on workshop in East London, you'll design and take home your own dried flower arrangement – a sculptural, textural piece built in a ceramic vessel, in a colour palette entirely your own. No two arrangements leave the table looking the same, and that's the point.
What you'll make
You'll create one finished dried and preserved flower arrangement, roughly 40cm tall, in a reusable ceramic vase, bud vase or vessel of your choice, yours to keep. Working from a table of preserved eucalyptus and ruscus, bleached and hand-coloured grasses, seed heads, bunny tails, palm spear, dried hydrangea and everlasting flowers, you'll build something suited to your own home rather than a template.
What we'll do
We'll begin with the materials – where they come from, how they're dried and preserved, and how to handle them (they're far more forgiving than they look). You'll then learn the PETAL method: Pattern, Elevation, Triangle, Asymmetry, Layering – five simple decisions that take an arrangement from "flowers in a vase" to something that feels considered.
You'll build your own piece with hands-on guidance on balance, spacing and knowing when to stop, before finishing with tips on care and styling to keep your arrangement looking its best long after you take it home.
Complete beginners are welcome – most people here have never arranged flowers before. Suitable for ages 14+, and lovely for birthdays, hen parties, mother-and-daughter afternoons or a solo creative reset. Groups stay small, with a maximum of 13, so everyone gets proper attention.

I've been a florist since 2016, but I didn't arrive here through a flower shop. I grew up in Istanbul, where flowers were part of everyday life rather than something you saved for occasions, and I moved to the English countryside carrying that with me. The pivotal moment came when I found a bunch of forgotten flowers that had dried in a corner of my studio. They'd faded into something quieter and more beautiful than they'd been fresh — a little imperfect, a little wild. That was the beginning. I've worked almost entirely with dried and preserved botanicals ever since.
Today I run Créateur Flowers, a studio built around slow, sculptural floral design. I grow and source much of what I use, hand-colour my own stems, and design in a style shaped by wabi-sabi and Japandi principles — asymmetry, negative space, restraint, and a deep respect for materials that have already lived a little. I'm also a painter, and I think that shows in how I teach: I approach an arrangement the way you'd approach a canvas, thinking about line, balance and composition before anything else.
Why I love teaching: because floristry isn't really about flowers. Every person who sits down at my table arrives holding something — a stressful week, a creative block, a belief that they "aren't the artistic type." Two hours later they've made something with their hands that nobody else in the room has made, and something has loosened. Watching that happen never gets old. I teach a method I developed called PETAL — Pattern, Elevation, Triangle, Asymmetry, Layering — which gives people a framework so they're not just copying me. They leave able to do it again on their own, which is the whole point.
Something most people don't know about my craft: dried flowers aren't dead flowers. Preservation is a genuine technical skill — the timing of the harvest, the humidity, the drying method, the colouring process — and done well, an arrangement will look beautiful for years rather than days. Most people are surprised at how much chemistry sits behind something that looks so effortless.
A little about my experience: I've been working professionally with flowers for 10 years, teaching workshops since 2023, and my work has included bespoke installations / wedding and bridal commissions / hospitality and interior design clients.
If you come to one of my workshops, expect good tea, unhurried pace, and no pressure to get it "right." I keep groups small so I can actually spend time with each person. Whether you're here for a creative afternoon, a birthday, or a team day, you'll leave with something you made yourself — and it'll still be on your shelf next year.
