At Amaranto flower Design we love nothing more than to share our passion for flowers! Nadia has an extensive knowledge in floral craft and taught creative workshops for over a decade before setting up Amaranto Flower Design.
She gets so much pleasure from sharing her skills with creative and like-minded people. Her classes are exceptionally designed to give you the expertise to create beautiful and elegant floral arrangements.
Working in small groups in a relaxed atmosphere, you will create your own beautiful floral arrangements that you can take home and enjoy. Wherever possible, we will use English blooms from local flower growers. All materials and tools are covered within the cost of the workshop.
Take a look at the various floristry workshops we offer below:

Kokedama Workshop
This is a fun and relaxed workshop where you will learn the art of making Kokedamas.
Kokedamas, or ‘moss balls’, are a Japanese style of planting, using soil and moss wrapped around the roots of a plant from where it emerges creating beautiful silhouettes and natural artistic compositions.
We will start with a demonstration and you will then be guided through designing your own Kokedama. We will use fresh plants such as ivy and ferns, spider plants. Each participant will choose whether to make a design to hang from a ceiling or shelf, or to sit on a surface, creating a beautiful and natural-looking way to grow your plants!
