Khin was such a lovely teacher. Patient and full of gentle guidance. Thank you.

My friend and I really enjoyed the dried bouquet workshop, which I'd booked for my friend's birthday. Khin was really lovely and a great teacher. We both came away with a beautiful bouquet and inspired to try drying our own flowers! Highly recommend Khin's class.

Khin is very knowledgeable and super friendly. I has a ball and I can’t stop looking at the result. I would definitely do it again!

A wonderful couple of courses this week. The tutor really observes, listens and tunes into your skills and guages your level and expertise. I was encouraged and pushed to go that little bit further, as well as gaining some valuable skills. I even was given the opportunity to really consider where I could take my fledgling business and to think about branding. Materials and supplies are plentiful and getting to choose from the market was a great skill. It was just a little hard squeezing them on the train on the way home! Would highly recommend this school for all levels of florists.

Khin was such a lovely teacher. Patient and full of gentle guidance. Thank you.

Khin is very knowledgeable and super friendly. I has a ball and I can’t stop looking at the result. I would definitely do it again!

This is such a great class for those wanting to expand their knowledge/ skills in floristry and also learn some of the business side as well! I had such an amazing day with Khin, we covered so much from fresh flowers to dried along with a range of different styles/ techniques and helpful tips/ tricks. I have come away feeling very inspired and creative with a wealth of knowledge which I can now use to develop my small business. Khin is an amazing teacher and I would highly recommend this class.

I really enjoyed this course and learnt so much, very happy!

My sister and I had a great time making dried flower wreaths. Khin was an excellent teacher and spent more time with us than was allotted to us. He has a lovely business with a wonderful selection of different dried flowers. Thank you for this excellent class!

Khin was a great host showing us round the flower market and I now feel confident enough to go there on my own. We all made natural-looking bouquets with sweet peas as the main flower which I was very pleased with. The flower studio is very small so if you have any concerns about being in close contact with people I would suggest that this is not the class for you.

It was a joy to spend the day with Khin, absorbing everything he knows about flowers. No question was too stupid, no attempt at arrangement too clumsy as he helped us to embrace our unique style, whilst following a few fail-safe rules. A truly wonderful day and we came away with enough beautiful arrangements to fill the lounge, dining room and hall. Highly Recommended.

Khin is a very friendly and informative teacher. He is patient, fun and thorough. He gave us a lovely tour of the flower market and shared his top tips along the way. I was really impressed by his knowledge of floristry. The workshop itself was excellent. Khin allows you to express yourself individually while guiding you through the process which means you genuinely walk away with learnings. I will definitely look to do another session. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is looking to dip their toe in floristry.

The second time I've done this class and both times have been lovely. You learn everything you need to know to be able to navigate the market by yourself and you leave the class with a beautiful bouquet. Highly recommend.

Amazing day! Such a fun and informative tour of the market, followed by a lovely relaxing time making the bouquet with a wonderful selection of flowers.

I had such a wonderful morning taking this course with Khin. Thoughtful, informative & relaxing and an extra bonus being hosted in the Korean tea house with tea and vegan jellies. I would 100% recommend this course and would love to do it all over again!

It's just an exciting and informative trip! The instructor is so nice and sophisticated in the floristry industry. Learnt a lot in the 3 hours, don't miss it!

such a cool experience

Khin was wonderful! From the moment we met we felt at ease and his knowledge of the flower market was great. Equally he made us feel at ease over our mutual and dislike of various flowers and we darted around to different areas that had different interesting flowers. Going back to the studio was just as fun, he taught us how to condition and construct a bouquet and I cannot wait to try to do it again!!

Really enjoyed my 1 day flower course with the london flower factory - I learnt so much about fresh and dried flowers and can’t wait to put it into practise!

I really recommend this workshop if your interested in starting up your own floristry business, or just looking to gain some knowledge/techniques. I had a lovely day with Khin, he was such a good teacher and really kind and friendly! I made two big beautiful bouquets and got to take them home with me! I feel like I learned a lot and had all of my questions answered, which was really helpful. I’m looking forward to what the future holds!

Khin was an amazing teacher. So creative and really patient. He answered every question I had and gave me the hope and courage on my thoughts to change my career from fashion to become a florist! I left with 2 lovely bouquets that I made and love. I will defiantly be back for another course Thanks Khin Georgia

It was a very fun class and pretty flowers within the tutors place. Just be careful of the security guards on the roadside before you go into the studio, they are very confronting when you are trying to look for the location. It would be best if the tutor met students on the road rather than in the studio.

I had a wonderful time making at this workshop. Khon was a wonderful teacher and he helped me make an absolutely gorgeous wreath! It was a perfect way to start the holiday season. Thank you very much!!

Had a great time with Kin. Really lovely, chatty, friendly guy. Made us feel very welcome. And a very good teacher too. Helped us out when we needed it, and let us crack on with it when we didn't. Thanks!

I absolutely loved this class! Khin was a great teacher, friendly, chatty & experienced. I definitely plan to do another class with him again in the future. It is also a great class to do during this pandemic (when restrictions allow for it). It was 1-on-1 and we both wore masks, so I wouldn't hold off waiting until life is back to normal as it is the perfect activity when we have a very limited amount of activities we can do these days! 100% recommend :) Thanks Khin!

I would highly recommend this workshop. Khin was a fantastic teacher, very creative and patient. I had such an enjoyable day and walked away with beautiful flowers, learnings and I can't wait to book another one!!

I had such a fantastic time learning how to arrange dried flowers with Khin last Saturday! Khin was really friendly and just an overall delightful person to be around with. He took his time answering all my questions, explaining the different flowers and how to dry them, and gave me useful tips for my new found hobby. Would rate this 6/5 stars if I can! I will definitely be booking another session again.

I was really pleased with the bouquets I made! My teacher was really friendly, helpful and answered all of my questions. The space was filled with an array of beautiful flowers to choose from. I had a really great time and I would definitely recommend to a friend. Thank you!

Khin was excellent and very informative. His knowledge about the flower market and industry is unparalleled and I learnt loads from him. We then went back to his workshop to create our own bouquet and he made an amazing bouquet! Would thoroughly recommend!

Amazing class! Such a gorgeous studio and a friendly teacher!

I can’t say enough good things about this class. I learned so much and the instructor, is so patient and encouraging and considering the classes are one-on-one I’d say they’re excellent value too. I’d definitely recommend!

The workshop with Ken was really amazing. He was had so much knowledge of dried flowers and a great eye for arrangements. He gave us loads of tips and his attention to detail was great. Will definitely attend again and more of his classes.

So helpful & friendly! So much choice of flowers to use & practice with Fab afternoon :) X

Fab day!! I learnt so much and Khin was great - very welcoming, informative, helpful and fun. A real natural teacher and with such talent. Inlove the bouquet I made and couldn’t wait to get home and put my learnings into practice. Thank you X

I really recommend this class to anyone who has an interest in dried flowers. I learnt so much in such a short space of time and felt so inspired when I left to create and dry my own bouquets at home. Khin was really friendly and informative and answered all the questions I had. Plus you get to take home a bunch you create too!

A fascinating trip to New Covent Garden Mkt. Khin was most informative about the flowers and what to choose. I was thrilled with the flower arrangement I put together under his guidance - learning how and where to place the different sized flowers and using plenty of foliage to build the display. Would thoroughly recommend

I was awesome! We learned several things, but for me the useful ones were how to combine different flowers, tips to keep them nice in the vase and the spiralling technique! Khin was really nice and very enthusiastic, wonderful teacher!

Had a great Saturday morning touring around the flower market and getting "insider tips" from Khin. He was very flexible and gave us the freedom to have a look around ourselves too. After the market we made our way to his beautiful studio where he had prepared all the flowers for us in advance and gave us lots of tips on how to arrange our hand-tied bouquet and how to care for the arrangement afterwards. Overall I would highly recommend this course with Khin as he's an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guy!

The workshop was very informative and took us in-depth into the world of floristry and flower arrangements. The instructor took us throughout the flower market and showed us the best places to pick out flowers. We then went on to his studio, where he kindly took us through step by step on how to make a flower arrangement. When it was time for us to make our own arrangement, he let us take creative liberties with how we arranged them and helped us along the way. I would highly recommend this workshop for anyone curious about floristry and who wants to start making flower arrangements for their own home!

I found the course to be very informative. It was interesting to visit the flower market and to get some background knowledge on the workings of the market; what to look for when selecting flowers and expert knowledge on the variety of flowers that are on offer. I found the flower arranging session very helpful too, the tips and tricks were very valuable. The teacher, Chin, was very friendly, approachable and inspirational. This is a fantastic course for beginners, particularly those thinking of entering the world of floristry.

This class was really intimate (just 4 of us there) so we had plenty of Khin's attention and guidance. The selection of flowers was really beautiful (lots of unusual stems) and Khin was really good at helping us to build a unique and beautiful bouquet. Took home a huge bouquet of flowers, learning how to identify flowers, how to compose a bouquet, tie and wrap it too. Skills I will definitely use every time I buy flowers going forwards. He even took photos of us at the end! Thank you Khin!

Best class ever!! Can’t recommend highly enough. This was organised for us by our company and everyone enjoyed this class so much (to the extent that everyone voted this as one of the best corporate events of the year). Really lovely instructor and informative class that I ended up signing for more classes with The Flower Factory London.

Fantastic class, really informative and fun!!! Very friendly instructor who gave lots of tips on how to create and maintain beautiful bouquet of flowers that will last for months. Really enjoyed the class.

Really nice and great result!

Khin is a experimented and very professional man. He knows a lot of floristry and how to teach and manage groups. The workshop was fabulous, specially because the visit to the flower market and making your own flower arrangement. Thanks Khin!

Khin gave me confidence in going to a flower market, what to expect, showed us around the area and gave us tips on some equipments needed. Khin is very informative and friendly. He went through the basics of flower arranging; how to handle the bouquet and given us insight on how to make it pleasing to the eye. He encouraged us to be creative! The venue is comfortable and had enough space for 4 students, not to mention his beautiful work and it’s lovely being surrounded by flowers! Totally recommend.

The workshop was a lot of fun. Khin is very knowledgable and welcoming. He answered all our questions and was happy for us to use any flowers we wanted. He offered help and support but also let us do our own thing. We each made a massive beautiful bouquet that we got to keep and show off. Highly recommended!

Khin was a great teacher, really knowledgable and friendly, he made into a lovely morning and I was delighted with the flowers he sent me home with. Would 100% recommend.

My one to one tutorial with The Flower Factory was invaluable. The tutor was super friendly and extremely knowledgable, it felt like we had known each other for years.... It was a very relaxed atmosphere, an extremely conducive environment for hands on learning. I was given great advice and practical tips along with my creations to take home with me. Would definitely recommend.

It’s very small and cozy workshop and Khin is very friendly and patience. We had a great time making our very first fresh Christmas wreaths and the result was amazing, very professional, and expensive looking wreath! Love it!

Absolutely brilliant wreath making class. Khin made a great atmosphere for the 3 of us and had loads of beautiful decorative ideas. He was the perfect mixture of tutor and showing us skills and also allowing our own inspiration! We were delighted with the results which we have to admit are spectacular!! I highly recommend this class.

A wonderful way to spend Saturday morning - Khin brought us around the flower market and sharing with us his knowledge and experience then we went to his studio where we arranged a huge bouquet of flowers under his watch, using flowers that are not commonly seen in supermarket florists! It makes me feel more confident to try arranging my own flower arrangements and to go back to the amazing flower market! Thanks Khin for the fun day!

My mum and I had such a lovely morning with Khin. It was brilliant! The tour of the market was really interesting, and I felt like I learnt lots when we did the arranging. Khin is a brilliant teacher - and very generous too. We left with two huge, beautiful bouquets. We had a great time, I can’t recommend enough! Thank you :)

I thoroughly enjoyed the market visit and flower making class with Khin. He was extremely friendly and had a wealth of knowledge which he was willing to share. He is also very passion which also makes the class more enjoyably. The classes are very intimate which means lots of opportunity to ask questions. Highly recommended.

A great morning of well thought out guidance and tuition. We walked around the market with Khin, and then went to his workshop to learn to create a hand-tied bouquet. We learnt a lot and the vibe struck a good balance between informative and relaxed.

I learnt about the market itself and what to look for when visiting, along with lots of new flower names. Khin was really knowledgable and enthusiastic and taught us a lot about the preparation, arranging technique and aftercare of the flowers to help them last as long as possible.

Learnt about the market itself and what to look for. Also learnt about the preparation and care of the flowers and how ti make them last as long as possible, as well as the best technique to use when arranging. Khin was really knowledgable and enthusiastic

This was a great course. Lots of fun and the teacher is lovely. I brought home a lovely bouquet

So excellent and informative! Definitely recommend!

An incredible workshop! Khin is very knowledgeable and super warm and friendly. The visit to the flower market was a great start to get you excited about the prospects of doing this on your own in the future and I felt like I came away with great tips and tricks to working with flowers. His style of floristry also felt very approachable as he didn't have set rules and allowed for our own creativity to help shape our final project.

So much fun!

My mum and I had a incredibly great time with London Flower Factory. The class was taught from the basic and eventually we could make beautiful bouquets. They had not only seasonal fresh flowers but also various dried flowers so that we could enjoy picking up whatever we wanted. Also we enjoyed the conversation with the teacher a lot. We really want to visit them again and definitely recommend this experience.

This was so good! Kihn is so so lovely. He was a great teacher. I loved the visit to the market - it was amazing to finally see the place. Everyone seemed to know him. He gave me great tips on buying aswell as flower arranging. I would definitely sign up to more of his workshops. It was also amazing as it ended up being a one on one. I would highly recommend booking if you are looking!!! Thanks again xxxx

This was a gift for a friend's birthday--she loved it! Khin was very kind and knowledgable and went out of his way to make her big day special. Thank you so much!

I booked this class for my Step mother for her birthday, owing to the other participant not turning up she had a 1 on 1 class. The photograph of the arrangement was really beautiful and I know she enjoyed her afternoon. I'm really pleased I booked this as it was something different.

An excellent class - Khin was a really enthusiastic yet patient teacher, and I learned so much. It was v interesting hearing about his personal journey into floristry, and he gave a great tour of the flower market, which I will definitely be returning to using his tips! I thought the class was on the expensive side when I booked it, but having done the class I would say it is 100% worth it - you make a bouquet that you would easily pay £30 - £40 for in a florist and there are three hours of tuition. Such a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

This was my second time having a class here and it was just as great as my first time. My teacher was very helpful and I learned a lot.

Khin was a great teacher and was really easy to work with . I had a great time exploring the market and learning about the right techniques and materials to use, thank you!

Kirky little shop, but was made to feel welcome. Learnt lots in 2 hours.

I got this as a birthday gift for my friend who wants to do her own wedding flowers. We did the workshop together and it was brilliant, Khin was very knowledgable, gave us some great advice and tips, he was so enthusiastic and really helped us achieve the look she was going for plus we came away with a beautiful selection of flowers :)

Great class, throughly enjoyed it. The teacher was clear and very helpful.

Wonderful experience! It was my first floristry class and It was absolutely lovely way to learn new world! Khin was very knowledgable,enthusiastic and helpful. Flowers used for class were amazing and I came home with gorgeous huge bouquet of flowers. I would highly recommend!

Khin was really helpful and teaches you lots of new techniques. I enjoyed the class and I was really happy with the flowers we used.

Great day learning how to make a fresh wreath! The teacher was very kind, patient, and helpful! I learned a great deal and will be making more wreaths in the future! Thank you!

It was wonderful: the space is small and scattered, but the class is thoughtful, professional, personal. You walk away with not only a wonderful decorative wreath, but also a wealth of information. I would highly recommend.

Amazing! This was one of my favorite experiences I have had yet in London, and the best floral class and I have done many! Khin is so personable and so knowledgable. I will be booking more class with him soon. He's the best!

Fabulous afternoon with Kin, so knowledgable and such good value for 1-1 lesson and two gorgeous arrangements to take away

Fun and informative workshop. I would highly recommend this to any budding florist or flower arranging enthusiast. It's great value for money and I left with lots to explore and practise. it would be great if the class could cover a couple of techniques.

Absolutely amazing! Not often do you get the opportunity to have a 1:1 course for this price and then take home a huge bouquet of flowers! Would highly recommend, lovely relaxed setting, amazing teacher and stunning designs!

The class was enjoyable. I made a lovely hand bouquet using the spiralling method and had a very patient and encouraging instructor.

I had a BLAST! My teacher was super enthusiastic and very thorough at explaining things. He let me choose what I wanted to work on, which was great. I was struggle with a spiral hand bouquet and after a few explanations and trials, i got! I was SO excited. He was patient and encouraging. I got to take home 2 HUGE bouquets at the end. Thanks so much! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in London.
