My Mom and I signed up for a Tall Arrangements class with Kaitlin, and it was wonderful. It's geared towards total beginners like myself. We actually ended up making a dish arrangement in a tall vase. The studio is also very relaxed, and spacious - also think you can rent it out to do private events (showers, etc.) and order in food/drink. We signed up online a couple of weeks in advance and lucked out in getting a private on a Tuesday night at 6:30p. Kaitlin was very nice, professional, prompt. Before class began, she went over basic information such as lingo around floral arrangement terms, tools, where to buy flowers, type of arrangments etc.
When we begin creating our arrangement, we went over the structure of the elements. How to construct, use your tools, etc. The plus about the classes here is that they are recreational, not for professional florists or aspiring so there is no rigor about sticking to a particular aesthetic.
When we were done, Kaitlin was nice about taking photos, and helped us pack up our (big) arrangements in easy to carry bags. Another plus is you don't need to bring anything - she supplies the flowers, vase and vessel. Class was about two hours. The only room for improvement I have would be to have a handout as I was trying to take lots of notes during the class.
Overall, very much recommend and will come back for more classes - tabletop and bud arrangements and sometimes there were guest teachers that teach other things like flower crowns. read more
