I am no longer teaching regular classes, focusing on advanced students and event. Some of my most senior students are running classes and I’ll be happy to refer you to them. If you’d like me to refer you, please contact us by email.

I am hoping to do occasional weekend intensive workshops, each year (see below). These are two-day intensive courses, ideal for people living a long distance from London and for those living in or close to London too. My intensive courses are usually fully booked a couple of months in advance and early booking is advised. To register your interest in weekend intensive courses contact us by email.

An intensive weekend course of four hours on Saturday afternoon and four hours on Sunday morning, leaving students plenty of time to travel. There are several reasonably priced hotels in the area for accommodation on Saturday night.

Courses’ fees include all flower materials and use of vases and containers.

Students may apply for the elementary certificate from Ikenobo HQ following these courses.

Students should bring their own kenzan* (pin holder), hasami* (scissors) and a wrapping sheet* to take the materials home with them after the classes. (*can be purchased at the first class).

Cancellations less than 7 days prior to the course start date will not be refunded.
