Fun Floristry classes / courses in Sydney

If you’ve ever tried flower arranging at home, you probably learned pretty quickly that there’s much more to floral arrangements than simply placing flowers in a vase. Professional flower arranging has been around for centuries in many different cultures. Japanese flower arrangements look quite different from European styles, and South American floristry has a whole different perspective. On top of that, each region of the world brings its own native flowers and fauna to create gorgeous and unique flower arrangements. It’s this diversity of floristry practices that makes learning more about this is art so exciting. Which is why ClassBento made sure to select the best floristry classes in Sydney for you to explore. With a wide range of styles and techniques, you can learn from the best floristry teachers in Sydney. Find out about the tricks of the trade - learn about how best to combine colours, textures and patterns, how to support more fragile flowers, how to make ordinary flowers look extraordinary, which vases to use, where to get your flowers, about the history of flower arranging in different cultures, and much more.

Trying out the many different floristry classes in your area is one of the most fun things to do in Sydney. Our classes are perfect for beginners, with all materials and instructions provided. We purposely keep class sizes small, to ensure that you get enough one on one attention from the teacher, and to ensure that you have a nice relaxing experience. You'll feel refreshed, inspired and creative, in our teachers' tranquil workshops. There are floristry courses that cover the fundamentals like florist supplies and basic composition. Or, you might try your hand at Japanese flower arrangements in an Ikebana floral workshop. You can also learn how to make bouquets, flower crowns, or centrepieces in other fun floristry courses. No matter what kind of floristry you’re interested in, there’s a floral workshop for you to try.

For those who have already done a workshop before, we've got a wide variety of floristry styles to choose from, so you can experience something new. Try Japanese Ikebana style floral design, or opt for a European or modern style. Arrange for vases, bouquets, baskets, or anything in between. There's a course to suit every preference and every budget. For those among us who are more experienced, many of our teachers also offer more advanced classes - just contact them to arrange a custom workshop.

Flowers are so beneficial to mental health, which makes floristry classes ideal for any group you can think of. If you and your group of girls are looking for creative things to do in Sydney at night, floristry classes will fit right into your schedule. They’re also some of the most romantic things to do in Sydney for couples who would rather make bouquets than simply buy them. And if you’re looking for a wonderful mother-daughter outing, this is one of the loveliest indoor activities Sydney has to offer. Whether it's rainy outside, ridiculously hot, or if it's perfect weather, our flower arranging courses will keep you comfortable, engaged and smiling.

Go solo, with your other half, with some girlfriends, as a reward for mum, or as part of a hen's party or birthday celebration. Flowers are not just for girls - we've had plenty of masculine men in our classes (by themselves or with their partners) and they've absolutely loved the experience. The audiences who love our flower arranging classes are as diverse as the flowers we use in them! By making floristry classes more affordable, we can spread the love for flowers further throughout our communities, as well as facilitating cultural exchange and meaningful social interactions.

We're proud to have Sydney's most highly rated floristry classes, all thanks to our talented and passionate teachers. Your floristry class will walk you through everything you need to know to create stunning works of art at home. With the guidance of your talented floristry teacher, you’ll develop a better eye for things like balance and colour. And, you’ll feel more confident to experiment and keep trying on your own. Once you’ve taken a fun floristry class, we can bet that your home will never be empty of flowers again!

Ms Setsuko is a lovely and elegant lady. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, Where Setsuko gave us some background history on Ikebana, we then made 2 arrangements. Even my hubby who has no art/floral experience was able to enjoy the class!
Classes are kept small and sanitisers were provided, which is a plus at this certain time. Would highly recommend :)

I would recommend this workshop to anyone. The teacher was very knowledgeable and the classes were small enough that we had great one on one time with the teacher.

The teacher explained the process of flowering arranging in depth and provided some great tips and tricks. The flowers were fresh and a great variety of colours were provided.

It was a great experience learning the ikebana with Setsuko! She was friendly and most importantly the flowers arranged by her were so pretty, elegant and calming.

The class was conducted in her flower shop, so we were surrounded by flowers and plants.

I think it’s a great way to relax and learn some Japanese ikebana skills :)

We booked this class for our cousin's birthday. Setsuko was a lovely teacher, the studio was very welcoming and had a lovely vibe and the lesson was lots of fun! Setsuko was very good at explaining each arrangement and we took our time creating our floral masterpieces. It was a lovely morning and we would definitely recommend this class.

Flower Centrepiece Class

Nikki was fantastic, I learnt so much from her on the centrepiece workshop. The materials she had were beautiful and so much variety, we were able to choose how much or little we wanted.

She was well prepared for the social distancing and the venue was great.

I would definitely recommend doing this workshop. I am so pleased with what I created.

We learnt about textures, colour values and having different flower heights. Nikki was knowledgeable, gentle and patient. She was happy to answer our questions while we arranged away over a cup of herbal tea and some classical music.

Nikki was such a great teacher I absolutely LOVED the class and how the wreath turned out. I usually don't have the time do something for myself, or if I do, I always end up doing something for others. Doing this class helped me to completely switch off and think only about how to lay these beautiful flowers around the wreath.
Floral arrangements is something that always scared me, but Nikki taught you about the flowers and guided you from start to finish on how to arrange them in a beautiful way.
Highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to have some time to themselves, who loves flowers and loves creating with their hands.
Thank you Nikki I can't stop looking at it :)

I would recommend this workshop to everyone!
Nikki is a very talented and passionate florist artist.
She is very knowledgeable and you can tell that she really loves what she does and enjoys sharing it with others.
She provides you with all the materials you need and the end result is absolutely gorgeous, I can’t wait to hang it and have it as a reminder that any day is a good day to pause and do something for yourself.
