Semester One is a thoughtfully curated evening floristry series that follows the seasons from late summer through to the winter solstice. Each small-group class is inspired by the Australian calendar and moments of connection, celebration and reflection — offering space to create, slow down and reconnect with your creativity.
Love and Friendship
Thu 5 February 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
As summer lingers and Valentine’s Day approaches, this evening is a gentle celebration of love in all its forms — romantic, platonic, and self-directed. We’ll explore soft textures, expressive colour, and thoughtful floral gestures that speak to connection and care.
Perfect for friends attending together, a solo creative reset, or anyone wanting to design with intention and heart at the start of the year.
Feeling Fruity
Thu 19 February 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Late summer is at its most playful — abundant, colourful, and a little indulgent. This class draws inspiration from ripe fruits, bold palettes, and textural contrasts, blending florals with unexpected elements for a joyful, contemporary arrangement.
A fun, sensory session that encourages experimentation, colour confidence, and embracing a sense of light-hearted creativity.
A Celebration of Women
Thu 5 March 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Timed alongside International Women’s Day, this class honours strength, softness, resilience, and creativity. We’ll work with florals that reflect grace and individuality, creating designs that feel expressive and empowering.
This is a reflective and uplifting evening — a chance to slow down, connect, and celebrate the women who inspire us, including ourselves.
Seasonal Change
Thu 19 March 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
As autumn quietly arrives, nature begins its shift — softer light, deeper tones, and a sense of transition. This class focuses on working with seasonal materials, movement, and balance, embracing the beauty of change rather than resisting it.
An ideal session for grounding, reflection, and learning to design with the rhythm of the seasons.
Easter
Thu 2 April 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
With Easter just around the corner, this class draws on themes of renewal, tradition, and gathering. Expect natural textures, gentle colour stories, and designs suited to the table or home.
A calming and creative pause during a busy time of year, perfect for those wanting to create something meaningful for the long weekend ahead.
Earth Day
Thu 23 April 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Held close to Earth Day, this class celebrates sustainability, seasonal awareness, and a deeper connection to the natural world. We’ll explore mindful design practices, focusing on thoughtful mechanics, natural forms, and respect for our materials.
An inspiring session for those wanting to create beautifully while treading lightly.
Mother
Thu 7 May 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Just ahead of Mother’s Day, this evening is about sentiment, care, and heartfelt design. We’ll create florals that feel nurturing and timeless — perfect as a gift or a tribute.
Whether you’re designing for your mum, a mother figure, or in honour of yourself, this class invites warmth, reflection, and meaningful creativity.
Fashion
Thu 21 May 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Inspired by fashion weeks and autumn styling, this class explores floristry through a design-led lens. Think structure, contrast, form, and editorial-inspired palettes.
A bold and modern session for those who love design, aesthetics, and pushing creative boundaries beyond the traditional.
The Ocean
Thu 4 June 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
As winter settles in, we turn to the ocean for inspiration — moody blues, soft neutrals, organic movement, and layered textures. This class explores fluidity and flow, creating designs that feel calming, expansive, and quietly powerful.
Perfect for those drawn to nature, depth, and a slower creative pace.
Solstice Solace
Thu 18 June 2026 · 6:30pm | 10 spots
Held close to the winter solstice, this intimate evening is about rest, reflection, and finding beauty in stillness. We’ll work with seasonal materials and muted tones, creating designs that feel grounding and contemplative.
A soulful close to the term — offering warmth, creativity, and a moment of calm during the darkest part of the year.

  • 5/5 from Jean Harrison, attended Jun 2026: What a lovely night my daughter and I had. We learnt so much from Sharon and brought home our beautiful arrangement Will definitely be back Thank you so much Sharon
  • 5/5 from Karen Wilson, attended Jun 2026: I had a lovely night with Sharon and the girls. We always design a beautiful arrangement to display proudly in our homes. The flowers are always fresh and beautiful. Sharon makes everyone welcome and goes out of her way to help everyone Xx
  • 5/5 from Gail Erlenwein, attended Jun 2026: Tonight’s class was all about colours of the ocean. Blues and greens with a hint of white and purple. The colours and textures just all worked together.
  • 5/5 from Jodi Pearce, attended Jun 2026: It was lovely to be back at class tonight. Beautiful flowers
  • 5/5 from Beverley Wende, attended Jun 2026: I immediately felt welcomed and at ease. There was no right or wrong to what you created and it was wonderful to take home our creations.
  • 4/5 from Elyse Cumine, attended Jun 2026: The class was great, the flowers wonderful. The lady running the class was lovely, the cupcakes provided were delicious, and we had a great time. However, in my opinion it was not suitable for true beginners. There is definitely assumed knowledge such as the names of different flowers which, as a beginner, I did not have. It would have helped to have signs on the flowers we could use (some were presented that we were not able to use) along with the name, how many of that flower we should use, and grouped into categories to suit the class we were taking. All in all, I would still recommend the class, just go in knowing you need some level of knowledge - or a lot of help on the day!

Studio Owner and Founder is Sharon Bermingham; a second generation Irish florist of over 16 years. Sharon brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her studio floristry business in Berwick (Bunty and Fuzz Florist) and has built up a solid network of local, national and international clients as well as industry contacts worldwide. Her style is elegant and modern, with influences from Ireland, the UK and Europe. With the added convenience of being close to local flower growers and having access to locally-grown, market fresh produce several times a week, Sharon prides herself on being able to meet customers' needs within today's budgetary confinements.
Sharon opened her first retail store at 71 High Street, Berwick in January 2020. In December 2022, she made a pivotal decision coming out of the pandemic to move her business back Online.
“With Covid, came the downturn in foot traffic on Berwick’s previously thriving High St so the decision to work remotely was made for me after a very challenging few years. I continued to design and deliver amazing flower arrangements and bouquets, whilst also exploring some new adventures in Event Floristry and Floristry Education. My family, my loyal customer base and my local community continue to be so supportive and I am forever grateful to be in a position to follow my purpose in life with a new energy for 2025”
Entering her “Studio Era” in August 2024 Sharon relocated the business to the beautiful Gloucester Avenue, Berwick. “From this central location, we now have more space to service online orders, to consult with clients and we now have a permanent classroom set up for our Flower School!”
With a true passion for the industry, Sharon delights in sharing her knowledge, skills and experience with others through the many hobby classes and workshops she tutors both privately and in the local community.
“Building on the classes and workshops that I have been teaching since 2016, I now want to offer pre-requisite, competency based training that can potentially lead students to a future study pathway/ready for work opportunity”.
Sharon is excited to have completed her TAE Qualification (Cert IV Training and Assessment) at Chisholm in March 2025 and is now a fully accredited trainer and assessor!
