Arrange a beautiful basket or bouquet arrangement with Setsuko, who has over 13 years of experience as a florist, and who is the founder of Yuga Floral Design in Glebe.
Setsuko will select the highest quality seasonal fresh flowers for you to choose from. You'll get insider tips on how best to combine elements to compose a beautiful arrangement or bouquet. Express your creativity while indulging in a beautiful and meditative experience.
The class size is purposely kept small so you'll get enough one on one attention from Setsuko. The ambience in Setsuko's flower shop will be relaxed and tranquil - a perfect way to spend two hours getting away from the usual hustle and bustle, to be just breathe and be in the moment.
You'll take your tasteful creation away with you, as well as fresh new skills in flower arranging and appreciation.
Please note that the duration of this class may be shorter than 2 hours if there are only a small number of students.
For groups (5 to 10 guests), we can also offer a cheese platter and sparkling for an extra $15 per guest - just contact us with your preferred date and time if you'd like this option, and we'll send you a link to get it booked in.

I am specialised in Japanese (Ikebana) and European styles of arrangement. My work expresses a contemporary marriage between the exquisitely refined traditions of Japanese floral art Ikebana, and the vibrant textures and colours of Australia. I regularly provide flower arrangements for Sydney University, Sydney restaurants like Masuya Group, weddings, and more.
My Ikebana journey started at a young age, with the Ikebana that my mother created with flowers picked from the fields and gardens around our home, and has continued and evolved ever since.

I had great time at this class. I was actually the only one for the session, which made it much more personalised and I got loads of tips! I had a beautiful bouquet and was super happy with a wholesome morning. Thank you for having me!

Very enjoyable and pleasant atmosphere. Technique teaching very good with lots of individual attention. Generous supply of floral and other materials. It was interesting that despite all having similar materials to work with, each participant produced individual bouquets, and this added to the richness of the learning experience.

Setsuko was a great teacher. Showed us how to make it first and guided us when making our own. Had a nice little balcony where you can take photos with your completed bouquets. It’s pricey but considering you get to keep your bouquet which would often cost over 2/3 the price this is actually a pretty decent deal. Overall very pleasant and relaxing way to spend the afternoon with mum on Mother’s Day.

The teacher was detailed and made me redo the bouquet to get it perfect which I thought was great as she really made sure I knew what I was doing. Great variety of colours and flowers. Very happy

Setsuko our teacher allowed us to use our creativity to make our bouquets and then gave us great tips on how to make it look even better. I feel that the class was worth it because you get to take your bouquets home ! The atmosphere was chill and the shop was cosy and a great learning space.

The flowers she provided were absolutely beautiful and there were lots of them as well I highly recommend this class if you’re looking for a new hobby and love flowers.
Love the flower selection, bouquet is a bit challenging but really like the outcome! Thanks Setsuko!

Setsuko is a wonderful, charming, and patient teacher. The venue reflects her style, and it is a beautiful maximalist place with dried king proteas, vibrant statice, an elegant mirror, and potted plants. The flowers are fresh, conditioned well, and the sweet peas we used in our bouquets have an enchanting fragrance. I appreciate the variety of wrapping she has to offer, the ribbon quality is very nice, and I think the use of raffia to tie up our bouquets is ingenious as it is both sustainable, and less time consuming compared to other methods. Setsuko offers a unique perspective on floristry with her background in both Japanese, and European style floral design, both novice and more seasoned florists can appreciate. This workshop is great value for money considering the costs of flowers nowadays are much more higher due to COVID-19, the quality of flowers you can find at the Sydney flower markets by yourself can be a bit subpar, but Setsuko has a great eye for quality flowers.
Overall, the workshop has a personable, relaxed, rejuvenating feeling and I highly recommend Setsuko. Although car is recommended, it’s still worth the train trip. Looking forward to future flower workshops.

I was absolutely honoured to be given the opportunity to learn from Yuga. She is very patient and took the time to show me a number of different styles be for allowing me to play with the flowers myself. She provided me with good advice on how to improve and I definitely feel as though I learnt a lot. She had a good variety of foliage and flowers to work with and allowed me to make my own creative choices. I will definitely be coming back next time I am in Sydney
The class was easy to engage with. A nice and small group. I learnt
some simple techniques of flower arrangements that could be used in many settings . I also got to take home a lovely bouquet. It was good value for money.

The teacher has great flower arranging skills, but the 2 hours paid for was not maximised to d full. The class finished early n I was eager to learn more but after 1 bouquet arrangement that was it we could go.
Most bouquets completed were done by the teacher, so it was not hands on.
Lots of flower variety was provided. The teacher clearly shared her 1 technique or main principle to apply with the flower bouquet arrangement. She completed the steps till packaging or wrapping. The,quality of flowers ab, rest if materials are of at par quality. The class though ended quickly. We could have used the remaining time to learn more ideas or have a 2nd go of practice. Though the instructor has explained that it varies or is dependent on the pace of the students.

Setsuko is a very sweet teacher and has a personal approach. She's knowledgeable and picked out a good mix of flowers for us to work with.
The class only lasted for 1.5h (we put together one bouquet each) and wasn't as informative as I would have hoped. I would have liked to get to know a few more techniques for how to make flower bouquets. Maybe the teacher was a bit busy as two separate classes ran at the same time but she also forgot to bring out the tea she offered us when the class stared.
Overall a fun experience which I can recomend for someone looking for a fun thing to do.

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. With all materials provided, Setsuko guided us on how to create our own masterpiece. Being in a small group, it was easy to watch and listen to instructions. I appreciate how she observes and checks every individual's creation and gives feedbacks to ensure we do the right thing. Setsuko is very passionate and artisticand most of all she is very willing to share her knowledge and experience to newbies like me

The place is cozy, full of flowers and the moment I went inside I smelled the flowers and it made me feel good.
The materials were already set up, so it was easy to follow the instructions for start it.
The teacher gave as an introduction and then we start making our arrangement.
I went by public transport which is not a good alternative for this one, as the bouquet is very big for carrying on the bus.
Well, at the end was a lovely rainy morning. I felt so good that I wanted it not to end! It seemed it was short for me :)
I can say that I got the essential theoretical and hands on training on basket flower arrangement from Setsuko even in just one session because she was concise in her teaching and provided constructive feedback. The session was worth it as it was not only informative but was also definitely fun!
