About the course
Why not try something new and learn creative skills on our floral arrangement 6-week course.
Each week you will create your own seasonal arrangement, using fresh foliage and flowers provided with the guidance of Ione and your own creativity.
From Ione’s knowledge and vast experience, she will share the secrets to help you create your own beautiful design and learn more about flowers and foliage through theoretical learning and how to handle, condition and make your flowers last longer.
The course is for beginners and covers contemporary and traditional flower arranging.
This course has a huge emphasis on finding your own floral style, harnessing inspiration, and looking to the seasons to create work that pushes the standard take on flower arranging.
How is the course delivered and assessed?
Through a combination of practical tasks, theoretical learning and group engagement in a creative approach & sustainable sensibilities. You'll immerse yourself in the world of flower arranging. With guidance from our experienced tutor Ione, you'll gain hands-on experience and knowledge similar to that of the floral industry.
About the tutor
A little bit about me!
I’ve worked in the floristry industry for
over 30 years. During this time, I’ve exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show
and RHS Tatton Park, and I’ve also led a flower arranging workshop at RHS
Hampton Court.
I’ve served as a NAFAS Area Demonstrator for the Home Counties and previously ran my own independent flower shop, where I also taught four separate flower arranging groups.
As a wedding specialist, I’ve created floral designs for yachts, prestigious hotels, and private events. One of my favourite experiences has been working behind the scenes at Cambridge University, designing flowers for Christ’s College, Emmanuel, and Trinity.
