Recent reviews of Preserved Flower Arranging Class

  • 5/5 from Kent Kwok, attended Sep 2025: Setsuko was great. We had a lot of flower options to choose from, she was available to answer any questions, and she checked in periodically. We walked away with a very aesthetic set of flower arrangements to place around our home. Thank you for putting on such a lovely class.
  • 5/5 from Viola Tanaya, attended Mar 2023: I love the class with Setsuko. She gives direction according to our own arrangement ideas
  • 5/5 from Candice Care-Unger, attended Feb 2023: We had a lovely afternoon. Good size class (small) and an encouraging and helpful teacher. Everyone left with something beautiful (even those with no idea).
  • 5/5 from Nicola Guy, attended Feb 2023: A fabulous class led by Setsuko. An amazing selection of flowers with great balance between teaching by Setsuko and finding your own creative flair. A lovely sized group too.
  • 3/5 from Kathy Mestre, attended Feb 2023: A demonstration on how to make an arrangement would have been a great way to start the class. There was a nice selection of preserved flowers. But I think the class is a little over priced.
  • 5/5 from Dana Bourke, attended Jan 2023: Overall a very enjoyable experience! Setsuko provided great guidance and was very knowledgeable. She was very good at providing guidance while also giving us space to experiment. Would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Susan Cruickshank, attended Oct 2022: The teacher was gentle in how she instructed us and gave us insights in to how to place the flowers in the vase and a reason for placing them in certain ways. We had more than enough choice of flowers for what we wanted to do.
  • 5/5 from Katie Mackey, attended Oct 2022: Setsuko is a lovely & supportive teacher. Lots of flower varieties available. Fun, enjoyable and informative class.

  • 5/5 from Liliana Paton, attended Aug 2022: The teacher was great very helpful and it was a rewarding experience one I would recommend to many.
  • 5/5 from Marianna Clark, attended Aug 2022: Setsuko was a wonderful teacher! Not only did she provide a vast array (but curated, so as to not be overwhlemed) of dried & preserved flowers/grasses/leaves/etc. but with the small class size it was so easy to get her advise and encouragement as you put your arrangement together. I would definitely recommend this class - I had a lot of fun, and came away with a lovely finished product.
  • 5/5 from Novita Yudhiari, attended Aug 2022: Had a good time joining this class. Teacher is friendly and very helpful Thank you
  • 5/5 from Kara Garrett, attended Jul 2022: Great experience! The teacher was very flexible in helping us create our vision and gave lots of tips and tricks without taking over. The flowers provided were gorgeous!

  • 5/5 from Amy Guan, attended Apr 2022: This class was so fun and relaxing. Setsuko was very knowledgeable and I’m stoked with the end results
  • 5/5 from Naomi Long, attended Mar 2022: My friend and I attended the preserved flower arrangement class and had a blast! The teacher Setsuko was really lovely, gave us guidance and helped us perfect our arrangements as we went. We both walked out of the class very happy with two beautiful arrangements.
  • 5/5 from Daisy Lam, attended Mar 2022: Setsuko is a very experienced teacher. She is patience and gives us many tips on flower arranging. The venue is clean and comfy, easy parking on the street. All materials were provided. Just need to sit back, enjoy and have fun! And you get to keep your own final masterpiece at the end of the class!
  • 5/5 from Marie Seizilles, attended Feb 2022: Great class with Setsuko. She is an experienced florist with great tips. You can really express your creativity in this class but she is also here to help if needed.
  • 5/5 from Naomi Diamond, attended Feb 2022: I loved this class. The teacher was informative and really helpful and I loved the space. I throughly enjoyed myself.
  • 4/5 from Febe Atienza, attended Feb 2022: The teacher is helpful. The venue great. Not great value for money as not much dried flowers to choose from with the flower arrangement I want, and I am probably expecting something unique Japanese floral arrangement as I already know the basic flower arrangement. I am very disappointed that I did not check the back of my flower arrangement because the foam was not covered.
  • 5/5 from Aura Cabaero, attended Nov 2021: Setsuko is AMAZING! Very friendly and patient ️; she'll teach you re blending and colour balance. All materials provided. Venue is great - I feel at home I will certainly do more class with Setsuko!
  • 5/5 from Clare Thirimanne, attended Nov 2021: I thoroughly enjoyed this class and was surprised that I created a beautiful masterpiece all thanks to Setsuko’s guidance. Setsuko gave background info on preserved flowers and then demonstrated how to arrange them whilst giving tips. There was a range of preserve flowers available to select a colour scheme. Definitely worth the money and you get to take your masterpiece home
  • 5/5 from Aaliyah Khalil, attended Oct 2021: I enjoyed my class so much! I was able to have every question answered and I was taught little tricks that can make such a big difference! It was such an amazing experience to be taught by a professional, she really opened me up to new colour schemes and techniques. Would definitely recommend
  • 4/5 from Elizabeth Kozlov, attended Jun 2021: It was great that we got free reign on arrangement design choice and a variety of floral options to choose from. Downfall was there was little to no direction or explanation. It was a little overwhelming with so many options, would be good to have some displays to “replicate” It would also have been great to learn techniques and receive a better understanding of preserved vs dried plants as the session progressed
  • 5/5 from Angus Laws, attended May 2021: Definitely good value considering the amount of materials provided and what an arrangement of a similar size would cost at a retail store. Not a step by step class, instead, the teacher provides loose guidance so you can create your own masterpiece. Every single arrangement in our class turned out beautifully, but all were very very different. It was a surprise date for me fiancé, and she loved it.
  • 5/5 from Esther Li, attended May 2021: Cute workshop, lots of light and smells amazing. Teacher was generous with materials and mum & I came home with a stylish addition to our home.
  • 5/5 from Wendy Hoang, attended May 2021: Great class and amazing experience. The teacher is very helpful and our take home arrangement fits so well in my home
  • 4/5 from Wenyen Wei, attended May 2021: Overall good. I’d expect a bit more dried flower selection and colors to choose from and a bit more instruction on different dried flower styles.
  • 5/5 from Young Jang, attended Apr 2021: It was a shch great time She was provied good meterials and demonstration, providing enough time to practice Thank very much Setsuko you was nice teacher. Definitly l will beck to see her.
  • 5/5 from Caitlin Rose, attended Mar 2021: Very relaxing class and teacher, it is self paced and so easy is definitely beginner friendly.
