It was very interesting course in the serene, beautiful, relaxing studio. The best 2 hours of my day, full of flowers, colours, and compositions. Azumi is an amazing instructor, with a solid design background, in just 2 hours she managed to get from theory to practical demonstration of the technique and we created our own simple arrangement. I highly recommend it, her studio is so beautiful and she is very nice and welcoming person! Thank you Azumi!

I booked the introduction to design principles in floristry workshop on a whim, to fill a free Sunday afternoon. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable afternoons I've ever had. Azumi is a wonderful teacher -- knowledgeable, thoughtful and clear -- and in a few short hours she gave me to a whole new understanding of and appreciation for floristry.

I have now attended two days of floral design workshops with Azumi and I have loved every second. I will continue to complete the current 4 week course and look to do others. Azumi is a very knowledgeable, highly skilled, professional, calm and patient teacher. Not only do you learn a lot in her classes, but you get to take your creations away with you so it's also fantastic value for money. I highly recommend,
