Testimonials;
Attended another class at British Academy of Floral art and again, it was fantastic.
Tina, is so talented and explains everything so well. She guides us and shows us such amazing skills that we can follow, producing the most gorgeous arrangement.
Thoroughly enjoyed our workshop and can't wait to go again.
If you interested in learning about flowers, making a hand tied bouquet, a display arrangement or anything to do with flowers, this is the place for you!
Spent a wonderful morning creating a stunning floral arrangement with Tina, who was very kind and very knowledgeable. Would thoroughly recommend the Academy. Thank you Tina.
Tina is truly exceptional. Her knowledge, expertise and passion for floristry are incredible, and she shares it all in such a relaxed, welcoming and friendly way. The classes were thoroughly enjoyable, and I learnt so much over the course of the week.
The surroundings are absolutely beautiful too, making the whole experience even more special. We even had a stunning setting in the garden to enjoy our lunch — such a lovely touch!
I came away feeling inspired, with so much new knowledge and confidence. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the week and would highly recommend the British Academy of Floral Art to anyone with an interest in floristry, or anyone with a love for flowers & looking for a new hobby.
A truly memorable experience and very deserving of 5 stars!
