Give your home decor a boost with dried flower arrangements
One of the most beautiful things about the best floristry courses in London is the different types of flowers you can work with, and no two people will have the same arrangement. Dried flower arrangements are becoming more and more popular, as they’re a wonderful way to add a seasonal feel to your home all year round.

If you want to bring a bit of nature indoors but don’t have an abundance of space for plants, why not try out this enjoyable new hobby? You can make your own dried flower arrangements in your spare time, so it won’t take much precious time out of your schedule. For anyone who dreams of styling gorgeous homes but doesn't like to spend too much money on decorating their abode, working with dried flowers is one of the best ways to bring some extra colour into your life without breaking the bank!

A really lovely relaxed workshop, in a really beautiful cosy space. Catherine went through all the types of flowers and foliage, some of them she had dried herself.

Discover Ikebana at a Japanese floristry class in London
If you’ve ever wanted to try the popular Japanese art of ikebana flower arranging, now is your chance! In the best floristry courses in London, you can learn how to create a stunning arrangement of lush flowers that will make a beautiful addition to any room.
For centuries, Japanese flower arranging was carried out as part of Buddhist rituals or as a sign of refinement among the upper classes, but today it’s practised for its own sake by people from all over the world. Rather than focusing on the colour or aroma of the blossoms, ikebana is more about taking the time and thinking about where each flower stem would look the best in the arrangement. It’s a meditative art form that will really get those creative juices flowing, keep you present in the moment and give you the satisfaction of creating something beautiful. The joy of this traditional art form is that it can be as simple or as elaborate as you like — whatever your artistic flair, you’ll soon find out what works best for you.
When it comes to the best floristry courses in London, an Ikebana workshop is a unique and fabulous choice!

I wasn't sure an hour would be long enough but we covered loads - the history, the art, demonstrations and an opportunity to do at least 2 creations of our own. Both teachers were exceptional in explaining everything, making us feel welcome and creating a fun learning atmosphere. I can't recommend this workshop highly enough, we absolutley loved it - and then came home to create more designs and go foraging for interesting twigs & flowers to keep practising! Sam Josephs
