Floristry

A Shuttleworth College Floristry student

Florists use a diverse range of materials to create inspirational and emotive floral designs. As a florist you will use a variety of flowers and different types of medium to create formal displays for special occasions, such as weddings, marquees, corporate events and exhibitions.

The floristry industry comprises many different types of business but the majority are small and medium sized companies. Creative roles in this industry include design and floristry creation, but key roles also exist in retailing and delivery. We can help you to be successful and give you the training you need to develop the artistic and business skills needed. The Floristry staff at Shuttleworth pride themselves on keeping up to date with new trends including the use of European and modern design methods and often demonstrate their own creative flair in national competitions and events.

Whether you wish to change career and become a professional florist, learn a new skill for pleasure, or add a creative touch to a special occasion, our wide range of courses will enable you to learn how to create beautiful designs. Our Floristry department is dedicated to give you all the skills you need to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry.
