This is a fun activity in Islington, London

Join this London experience and make your very own Ikebana flower arrangements with a modern twist.

You will learn all about Japanese flower arranging called Ikebana. It dates back to the sixth century when Buddhist monks made floral offerings for alters. There is great importance on seasonality, minimalism and thoughtful placement of stems that is in tune with nature.

Delve into this gentle and important art form and step back from your busy life. Unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy learning something new.

This floristry class will be led by an experienced teacher who has a passion for all things floral. They will introduce you to the main techniques and principles of Ikebana flower design so you can create your own masterpiece.

We will provide you with stunning, seasonal branches, stems and flowers to perfect your floral arrangement.

We encourage using your own creativity and personal touch while being aware of the basic principles of Ikebana.

You will take home all the flowers used and as well as extra stems so you can practice at home. There is an option to purchase the Kenzan and a container.

If you want some things to do in London that will help you slow down then this class is perfect. Try it for a team building event, birthday party, or just a nice weekend activity.

We are also happy to teach at a venue of your choice - there is no additional cost other than travel to your location.

Class time is just an estimate and may vary - it is the maximum allowed time. Everyone works at their own pace and the number of people attending will impact this.

Nono was amazing and very friendly! The space was nice and class was an intimate size, not too large. It was tailored for the season and for Valentine’s Day, with special flowers selected for the session. I enjoyed the division between the more traditional approach and creative approach, and ikebana reference books on the table. Overall a lovely experience which I shared with my partner and I loved that I could take the vase and stems home to recreate the arrangements. Perhaps the only constructive feedback would be more written guidance relating to the traditional approach, such as the ratios when making the arrangements. I saw a piece of paper with some instructions, but I felt it could be more detailed. And perhaps some relaxing music playing in the background to make the space feel more vibrant. But otherwise it was a great introduction to the art form and I would love to do it again.

My teacher was so welcoming and had a range of books that I could look to for inspiration. She balanced teaching the stricter rules of ikebana and allowing a more creative arrangement in inspiration of ikebana. The tea was also great!
