For something a little more trad, why not try Japanese ikebana flower arranging? Craft community member Megan Filkins loved her ikebana experience with Flower Factory LDN - here's what she had to say:
"Nono was an excellent and incredibly skilled teacher with a positive, encouraging manner. It was a relaxed yet informative environment with plenty of opportunity for questions and further explanations. We practised 3 different types/schools of ikebana arranging - the last incorporating larger pieces of wood and stones. This meant we couldn’t take them home, but we did take home a generous bunch of seasonal flowers, an ikebana bowl and a kenzen to stand the flowers in and remake at home. Everything was top quality!"
