Hand Tied Posies and Bouquets

Course overview

This course provides an introduction to traditional and contemporary hand tied floral designs suitable for the home, as well as a gift. You will explore a variety of flowers, foliages and techniques.

This course is designed for those interested in floristry or who are already in the industry and looking to update their skills.

At Merrist Wood College we pride ourselves on creating the balance between educating our customers on the technical aspects involved, whilst still allowing individual flair and creativity to leave with a unique and personalised arrangement.

You will learn the fundamentals of flower arranging including:

  • conditioning, preparation, and choice of plant material
  • the characteristics of fresh plant material
  • techniques, tools, and mechanics needed to create a floral design
  • practical experience of constructing a creative arrangement
  • use and style of different containers and the incorporation of accessories 

You will learn through a mixture of practical and theory.

All materials including flowers will be provided, but please bring along:

  • an apron
  • a pair of suitable scissors, and secateurs if you have them.
  • a box or sturdy bag to take your arrangements home in.

Lunch is not provided and as it is a weekend course there are no catering outlets open, so please remember to bring snacks / bottled drinks with you. Basic tea/coffee is provided.

Please meet your tutor in the Harris Centre.

Please park in the free student car parking.  A map of the college will be supplied in your joining instructions. Please ensure you arrive early to locate your meeting place and ensure a prompt start time.
