A productive and fun workshop to enjoy so come along and join us for a challenge to create a stunning bouquet including Lilies, clematis, and apple blossom.   

Emphasis for this workshop is placed on achieving an overall natural impression of the flowers with regard to their shape and colour.  All classes are relaxed but structured in order to make the best use of the time available.  At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a finished project – an example of the flowers you will make during the class will be available to see at the beginning to give you an idea of what you are aiming for!
