Friends of the RA book first
Friends are invited to celebrate seasonal blooms with a floristry workshop from Columbia Creative. This Friends Week, enjoy talks, workshops and tastings, and go behind the scenes of the RA.
Columbia Creative are celebrated floral designers, often commissioned to create bouquets for weddings, fashion shoots and boutique brands. Jo Woodward founded Columbia Creative in 2013; at the time, she lived in London's Shoreditch and would spend her Sundays at the world-famous Columbia Road Flower Market taking inspiration from the vibrant blooms and buzzing atmosphere. Now based between Shoreditch and Hertfordshire, Columbia Creative continues to capture the magic of its namesake through its experimental bouquets.
Join this unique workshop, where you will create a beautiful floral display to take home. Using seasonal flowers, Jo will guide you through matching colour and texture to create an elegant and harmonious piece. Situated in a wooden frame, this piece will celebrate floristry as art, and tie in beautifully with the workshop’s setting in our historic Fine Rooms.
Ticket price includes refreshments. Booking is essential for this event; if you wish to bring a guest please book one ticket for each person.
