Floral Workshop with Flowers for Jane

Ready to take your flower game beyond the basics?

At Flowers for Jane in Langwarrin, Cassy's monthly Bloom & Style Studio sessions are where you build real technique. The kind that turns "I made a pretty arrangement" into "I actually know what I'm doing."

Whether you want to style flowers from your own garden at home, or you're dreaming of becoming a florist and want real hands-on experience, these classes will take you there.

Each month brings a new skill and a new style, from pedestal centrepieces and native bush arrangements to professionally wrapped bouquets and long table runners. You'll leave with a stunning creation and a technique you can use again and again.

And when the weather's kind (or the design calls for it), we might head out into the garden to forage for foliage together. It's honestly one of the best ways to learn what works in an arrangement.

Cassy began her floristry career in 1997, and she's trained florists on the job along the way. So you're learning from someone who really knows the craft inside and out.

Never done a floristry class before? You're so welcome here. Every class is suitable for beginners. In every session, we'll cover the basics and fundamentals of arranging flowers, the same skills florists use every day in the industry. And if you're keen for more of a challenge, Cassy will share some advanced techniques you can give a go. Take it as far as you like. Work at your own pace, in a small, relaxed group of 8, with all the guidance you need along the way.

School holidays: kids welcome!
During the school holidays, these classes are open to children aged 10 and over, with a supervising adult. The adult doesn't need to join in or pay for a spot, but they do need to stay with their child and help keep an eye on things, like using the flower cutters safely. We're a hobby farm with animals and ponds, and the bathroom is a short walk away in the pool house, so having a grown-up close by keeps everyone safe and happy.

Or why not book a spot for yourself too? It's a really fun school holiday activity to do together, and you'll both go home with something beautiful.

What's included:

• Fresh seasonal flowers, foliage and all materials (unless specified below)

• Use of our class tools (or bring or buy your own)

• Tea, coffee and refreshments

• 10% off any purchases on the day (giftware, cutters, candles, extra flowers and more)

• Small classes of just 8 people in a welcoming studio space

Perfect for:

• Complete beginners who want to learn proper technique from the start

• Home gardeners who want to style their own home-grown flowers

• Anyone who loves having fresh flowers around the house

• Aspiring florists wanting real hands-on experience

• Anyone who's done a beginner class and wants to build on it

• Those planning a wedding or event who want hands-on styling skills

• Parents and kids (10+) looking for a creative school holiday activity together

• Small groups of friends after a fun, flower-filled morning (pair it with lunch at a Mornington Peninsula winery and make a day of it)

OCTOBER class

Wednesday 28th 10am - Floral handbag

Get a bit wild and go viral on socials showing off your skills creating a on trend floral handbag. Make it 'basic and bold' perfect for floristry beginners. If you're feeling up for a challenge, I'll share how to include some wired whimsy with some 'dancing' blooms on decorative wire.

NOVEMBER class

Wed 25th November 10am - Vintage Inspired Vase of flowers

I love my vintage 'cut glass' and crystal vases so it was only natural that when I saw this cut glass vase at the wholesaler I had to use it in a class. Vintage inspired blooms looking like they are picked straight from the garden. Matching quirky colours and flower varieties just like in mother nature. Vase included for you to take home and feel free to bring any flowers or foliage from your gardens to include in yours.

NOTE: Flowers for Jane is set on a 2.5acre hobby farm, so you can expect a few furry friends (including Roxy the Border Collie) to say hello.
