IKEBANA TASTER WORKSHOP
Finding moments of stillness can be a challenge. Our Ikebana Taster Workshop is designed to be an antidote to the rush. Our expert florists will supply a creative sanctuary where you can slow down, breathe, and connect with the natural world through the ancient Japanese art of flower arrangement.
As a florist dedicated to seasonal beauty, we provide the freshest local blooms, chosen specifically for their unique lines, textures, and characters.
The Experience
Ikebana is more than just "arranging flowers"; it is a meditative practice that emphasizes shape, line, and form. Unlike Western floristry, which often focuses on mass and symmetry, Ikebana finds beauty in empty space and the individual personality of every stem.
In this relaxed, hands-on session, you will learn to look at nature through a different lens. We move away from perfectionism and toward mindfulness, guided by the seasonal rhythms of the flowers in your hands.
What to Expect
A Gentle Introduction: Learn the history and basic principles of the Ikebana style.
Seasonal Selection: Work with a curated palette of seasonal branches, focal flowers and delicate fillers.
Creative Freedom: While we teach the foundations, we encourage you to let the natural curves of your stems dictate the final design.
Refreshments and nibbles will be provided as well as all tools and materials.
Wheelchair accessable.
Over 16's only.
Seasonal Table Arrangement
Our expert florists will guide you through professional floral mechanics and color theory, using a lush selection of fresh, seasonal blooms. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply want to brighten your home, you’ll leave with a beautiful, custom arrangement and the confidence to recreate the look again and again.
You’ll learn how to work with height, texture, and movement to create a show-stopping display. All flowers, vases and tools are provided. Just bring your love for all things floral!
Whether you’re a total beginner or a flower enthusiast, our workshop is designed to be a relaxing and creative escape.
Each workshop includes:
Expert Guidance: A live demonstration by our lead florist on how to prep stems and build a balanced arrangement.
Design Principles: You’ll learn the "trinity" of floral design, focusing on focal flowers, fillers, and greenery.
The Creative Process: Spend the majority of the session choosing your stems and assembling your centerpiece at your own pace.
Care Tips: We’ll finish with a quick guide on how to make your arrangement last as long as possible once you get it home.
Refreshments and nibbles will be provided.
Wheelchair Accessable.
