Judith Blacklock Flower School

I have just returned to Vancouver, Canada after attending the Judith Blacklock Flower School. This is the fourth country where I have attended a floral school. As each course involves an investment of time and money I research thoroughly before I attend and I go into it with HIGH expectations. At Judith's school my expectations were not only met but were exceeded!!!!!! The classes were highly organized with not a minute wasted. Judith and her team were all so lovely and approachable and the atmosphere in the class allowed for all of us students (from 6 different countries) to laugh and learn together - and we've even stayed in touch! Thank you Judith for a wonderful and informative week filled with beautiful flowers and lovely designs. I can't wait to come back one day. Mary :-)

I highly recommend Judith and her school. Her teaching style is very clear and inclusive. I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to all things flower-related, so Judith kindly adjusted her instructional pace to suit me. She would also frequently come over to my workstation to show me a technique up close or to point out something she liked about my bouquet.Whether you're there to learn how to set up a new business or just for fun, Judith's courses are suitable for people of all ages and from all walks of life. Will definitely be going back.

As an absolute beginner in flower arrangements, I didn't build my expectations too high. After a concise explanation followed by 20 minutes of practice guided by Judith, I felt as if I had been making bouquets all my life. Judith made it feel so simple and natural that everyone in the class, including myself really gained confidence and created beautiful things. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone interested in flowers! Judith is a very knowledgeable teacher and her creativity is inspiring!

Have just completed the Three days of Flowers course and loved every moment of it. Judith is an inspirational teacher, very patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and funny too. She goes out of her way to answer questions, nothing feels rushed, she is very generous with her time. The course is very hands on, with one or two creations to take home each day. We covered a lot of ground and I now feel competent to take on many different floral challenges! I would thoroughly recommend this course.

I recently attended Judith's introduction to flower arranging course and really enjoyed the whole experience. I'd flagged up with the school that I'd had an accident a few days previously and I was on crutches and they assured me that I would be ok. Judith really watched out for me and made sure that I was well looked after. I'm really pleased with the display that I created and have learnt a new skill that I will use going forward. Judith and her team were very relaxed and welcoming and were great hosts. Looking forward to trying another of her courses in the future.

Have just completed Three Days of Flowers at the Judith Blacklock Flower School and would thoroughly recommend the course and experience. From the moment I stepped into the school, I felt welcome and any apprehensions soon melted away. Judith and her team, Tom and Julia, as well as our tutor, Pip, on day two were all wonderful. The school is so well organised and the quality of flowers and sundries incredible. You will be amazed by how many creations you make and take home each day! You are even provided with sturdy bags to get your flowers home safely. Judith is an incredible teacher: friendly, patient, passionate, encouraging, generous and good fun. Best of all she can confidently teach the left handed amongst us! Thanks Judith and I hope one day to take another course with you.

Judith was an amazing lady who allowed her students to not only learn from herself but also from different tutors who were excellent in their areas. She also created the classes in an enjoyable ambiance .I participated in the 1 week Intensive Floral Design Class and it was a very good exposure and learning experience as we have students from all over the world to participate and sharing of experiences. Judith is also very helpful to ensure those overseas participants were well taken care of.The New Covent Garden Flower Market experience was another super plus point. There, she explained to us how to pick and differentiate the freshness of the flowers , the good flowers distributors and so on.Overall, it definitely worth my trip to fly in to London to join the 1 week class. This was the same feeling shared among other overseas participants. I shall look forward to return for other classes again in the future.

I have just completed the Three Days of Flowers course with Judith and her team and I cannot recommend it enough.This course is perfect for those who want to learn about the main aspects floral design, but in a shorter space of time. The level of care in ensuring the class were understanding the steps of each floral design was extremely high. Judith and her team always ensured that we felt comfortable to ask questions and that we worked at our own pace.From initially feeling quite unsure of my abilities and skills, after 3 days of learning, I now feel confident to work with flowers and use my imagination to create my own designs.I highly recommend it and will be returning to the school soon!

I had a wonderful time on Judith's Perfect Pedestal afternoon. We tackled 3 different arrangements using an abundance of beautiful flowers. Judith is an inspiring teacher who clearly loves to pass on her considerable knowledge and enthusiasm, giving clear instructions and encouragement. She comes across as someone with real warmth, genuinely interested in everyone on the course. It was nice that although the practical session finished at 4 we were welcome to stay on for tea and discussion afterwards. Highly recommended!

I took the three-day course at Judith’s flower school early this month and it was great fun! I was so surprised that the course was so well-organised and professional though it was only for three days! All the materials were so well-prepared and surprisingly great especially those gorgeous fresh flowers!! Judith and her teaching team, Tom and Pip always ensured that we understood their instructions and answered our questions in great detail. And Julia was also very kind and helpful in explaining the differences among the Judith’s books. This helped me choose the right books for my future self-leaning!Beyond enjoying my time at this lovely place in South Kensington, I learned practical skills that made me confident in arranging flowers and creating my own floral design. And also, during the three days, I made a few floral works such as the handtied bouquet and the table designs. I gave them to my roomie, my teacher in uni for farewell, and the church. People who received them were all very happy and surprised! I did gain the joy of sharing flowers!!!!The Chinese saying goes ‘no comparison, no harm’. Judith’s course was the best comparing among other courses that I took in both England and China. Can’t recommend more!！
