What flower lovers have been waiting for. Your first step to becoming a professional florist.
Introduction to Floral Design 2024
Our first Cycle is intended for those committed to starting in the floral design industry and welcomes beginners who have a passion for flowers and want to expand their knowledge. 

You'll learn flower cleaning and treatment techniques and master the florist's knife. You'll develop skills in designing bouquets for vases and handheld arrangements, both small and large scale, across various styles. You'll also cover basic principles of Photography, Color Theory, and Composition. Additionally, designer Louise Worner from the Sogetsu School will conduct an Ikebana class. The week culminates with a floral installation project.
