education

learn floral design

Over 13+ years in the industry, owner and lead designer Hannah has led numerous floral design workshops for all skill levels and abilities. She prides herself on a classroom environment that is relaxed, encouraging, and most importantly - fun!

In an HQS FLORAL class, you’ll receive high quality education from a professional florist and equally high quality florals. You’ll learn about fresh flower care, design principles, techniques and mechanics, sustainable floristry, and a bit about the floral industry itself.

Hannah teaches hands-on design intensives at the HQS FLORAL studio, a selection of seasonal workshops for beginners at City Arts Centre in Edmonton, and offers private workshops for groups and individuals. See more info below!

"It was simply sheer joy to be there, to meet Hannah, be inspired by their incredible talent and enjoy their fun, easy-going nature and teaching style. The flowers she brought in for us to use were of such superb quality, and lasted so long, giving me joy throughout the week and beyond. She was so lovely, kind, welcoming and patient. It's been my dream to work with flowers in this way, and to get to do it in an intimate class setting in her studio with such lovely people was nothing short of joyful. Thank you, Hannah! You confirmed what I'd always hoped: that I would find such peace and enjoyment, in even a small glimpse into this world and feel that, perhaps one day, it might be accessible to me."

"I had a 1:1 studio intensive with Hannah and it was so awesome and valuable. She taught me so much, and really tailored the two sessions we had to focus on what areas I requested more knowledge on to help me grow my own flower business. She taught me techniques that have really helped me be a better designer too. I’m so glad I booked her and would recommend her to anyone looking to build general flower knowledge and even more advanced skills in floral care and design!"

“I’ve taken the 6 week course and a couple one off flower arrangement classes that Hannah has taught with [City Arts Centre] and they are so great! She is such a great teacher and her passion for floral arranging is palpable. She is super knowledgeable and makes the classes so chill and enjoyable!”

Isabella
“I had a great experience working with Hannah and her colleague Meegan. They hosted a 35 people Christmas Wreath Workshop for our tenants which was very well received by everyone.… They explained the whole process in a calm, clear and friendly manner. I look forward to working with them again. To anyone looking to book them - here's your sign. :)Thanks so much once again Hannah. You rock!!”
