COURSES AT THE UK SCHOOL OF FLORISTRY
Become the florist you’ve always imagined.
Welcome to The UK School of Floristry, founded by Joseph Massie.
We teach more than how to arrange flowers. This is a place to learn, certainly, but also to explore, to refine, and to discover what might be possible with flowers.
Based in Manchester’s Makers Quarter, our studio is a calm, creative working space where materials are respected, skills are built with care, and confidence grows naturally over time.
Whether you’re taking your very first steps or looking to refine your skills and grow a floral business, our courses are designed to meet you where you are.
Our Taster Classes offer a gentle, welcoming introduction to working with flowers, while our Foundation and Career Courses build confidence, technique and creative understanding over time. For those ready to go further, our Intensive programmes are designed to deepen your practice, elevate your work, and support the development of a professional, sustainable business.
Each class is immersive, practical and thoughtfully led, grounded in both technique and creative intention.
Below you’ll find our upcoming course dates.
