Did an ikebana class with my wife for our 4th wedding anniversary (fruit and flowers) and we loved it! The class was very informative on the traditional flower arrangement style and customs and Japan. We got to make two different arrangements (one traditional and one modern) and the whole time the instructor was helpful and encouraging. The lesson had so many different dried and fresh flowers for us to work with! It really helped feel more creative with so many different options for base the arrangements around. At the end we got to keep a bowl, holder, and high bushel of grease flowers to take home. We tried out ikebana at home for a few days with all the extra flowers we got. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn about ikebana or just looking for a new creative outlet. A most for wedding anniversaries!

What a lovely birthday present I was given, an afternoon with the Flower Factory, learning all about Ikebana floral artistry. We were given a history and had a comprehensive demonstration before being able to have a go ourselves, coming home with a pot and frog and of course beautiful flowers. We were made so welcome and Kim and his team went over and above to ensure we had a good afternoon. One thing to note for next time, would be perhaps to make the workshop 21/2 - 3 hours long so there is enough room for the history, the demonstration and then our own work. I loved my afternoon such a treat.

I spent two hours creating beautiful Ikebana arrangements and the whole class was calming, relaxing and allowed me to pause in my busy life to see the beauty in form and the Ma.

It was an amazing class. I learned the secrets of Ikebana arrangement from the professional florist, he was great and dedicated, he let us put our hands on and make our own arrangements in three different styles under his guidance with tips and advices :) I would really like to take other classes with him. Thanks alot!

Such an enjoyable and relaxing experience! An intimate class that taught us all about the art of traditional and western styles of Ikebana. It left me with the desire to do Ikebana every Sunday as a calming ritual.
