Flower Arranging - Next Steps - Southwell Library - Adult Learning

About this course

This next step course is suitable for those who have started their flower journey and want to develop their knowledge and skills to create more advanced arrangements.

Each week, you will create floral designs using new techniques and trends in flower arranging. Building upon existing skills learned on the Flower Arranging for Beginner’s course, you will develop wiring techniques, leaf manipulation and explore modern trends to create beautiful pieces.

Some previous experience of flower arranging is desirable but not essential as all basic techniques will be recapped at the start of the course.

Resources required for the first session will be communicated by the tutor, however each week you will need:

Oasis foam for fresh flowers

Scissors or secateurs

Fresh flowers and foliage

Anchor tape

Flower arranging containers to display arrangements.

Marker pens.
