Kaohsiung Floral Arrangement ClassesLearn dried and preserved flower techniques: 5 DIY floral experience venues in Kaohsiung, reviewed

This Kaohsiung Floristry class was an everlasting floral wreath workshop, primarily using preserved and dried flowers. Upon entering the studio, the instructor generously announced that all the flowers in the room were available for use.

The instructor's teaching style was very free-form, yet subtly incorporated a systematic approach. The class began by guiding students to select their flower colors, encouraging them to freely experiment with wreath-making. During the process, the instructor would then explain flower placement and color adjustment techniques based on the students' practical work, helping them achieve softer, richer lines in their wreaths.

Although other students were taking different classes simultaneously, the instructor was constantly attentive, keeping a close eye on my progress and providing detailed answers and assistance to any questions.

While the studio's decor was understated, the instructor's genuine passion significantly enriched this dried flower class.

Wen's experience included a floating flower bottle and a mini wreath. She started with the wreath, where the instructor provided a few main flowers, and Wen chose the rest in her favorite colors.

Making the mini wreath involved hot-gluing the floral materials, which, though seemingly simple, required patience and a delicate touch. The instructor was always kind and helpful with any questions, showing a genuine passion for teaching Kaohsiung Floristry.

Next, for the floating flower bottle, the instructor gave Wen a lot of creative freedom to select her favorite flowers from a wide variety. After placing them in the glass bottle, she simply poured in plant oil to complete it — a perfect choice for a beautiful, easy-to-make piece.

After the dried flower class, the finished creations were placed in a dedicated photo zone. The influencer-style setup, paired with her own artwork, perfectly rounded out this fun DIY floristry experience.

Before the class, Wen messaged the instructor to discuss her needs and ultimately decided on a small potted flower arrangement class.

The instructor had all the floral materials and tools ready before class. She began by introducing the dried flowers, preserved flowers, and other materials we would use that day, explaining the characteristics of each, their ideal conditions, and how to care for them. Her friendly and detailed instruction gave Wen, who previously knew nothing about Kaohsiung Floristry, a solid foundation.

The instructor's explanations were incredibly thorough, yet she still allowed students ample room for creativity. If we encountered any issues, she would immediately assist, and she even helped take candid photos throughout the process.

In just one hour of Kaohsiung Floristry, Wen transformed from a complete novice into someone who created a beautiful potted arrangement, which was incredibly satisfying! Plus, it was a one-on-one lesson the entire time. If you've never tried Kaohsiung Floristry before, this venue comes highly recommended.

This time, Wenqing Lanma attended a preserved flower bottle workshop at Ariel's Flower. The instructor began by introducing the different characteristics of preserved and dried flowers.

To ensure a perfect finished product, the instructor guided us to first sketch the bottle shape on paper and experiment with flower placement to visualize the overall style. Only then did we use tweezers to carefully arrange the flowers inside the bottle.

This step looks simple but is actually quite challenging due to the narrow bottle opening, requiring multiple attempts to position the flowers just right.

On the day of the workshop, the instructor simultaneously taught two different Kaohsiung Floristry classes without missing a beat. She gave Wenqing Lanma plenty of freedom to experiment while also offering timely advice on crucial details. After the piece was completed, the instructor helped find the perfect spot for a photoshoot, and an assistant helped with packaging to further enhance the final presentation.

Our mystery shopper, a self-described "artsy lazy mom," took a dried flower wreath-making class, primarily using preserved and dried flowers.

The class begins with students choosing a main color for their piece, then freely selecting their preferred flowers. Guidance is provided if you're unsure how to choose.

When making the wreath, the instructor first demonstrates how to arrange the flowers for a layered effect, then allows students to DIY, offering tips on how to assess their work for areas that need enhancement.

Overall, the content and schedule of these Kaohsiung Floristry classes are very flexible, making them ideal for busy professionals or anyone with diverse ideas about flower arranging.

Stepping into the venue feels like entering a floral feast, with all sorts of flowers neatly and cleanly arranged, conveying the venue's deep care for its materials.
