These classes are suitable for all levels. Please let me know if you are a beginner and you will be helped accordingly.
All day workshops are £23.00 plus the cost of plant material and flowers.
Morning classes are £18.00 plus the cost of plant material and flowers.
Tea and Coffee provided throughout the day, with homemade cake in the afternoon.
NB – A week’s notice is required if you wish to cancel a class. This is due to my having to order flowers a week in advance as there is no wholesale flower distributor nearby and they have to be delivered. The present climate has made flowers very expensive and you should expect your bucket to be in the region of £10 - £12.
