  • 5/5 from Sophie, attended Sep 2025: The class was amazing: informative, fun, relaxing, yet productive! Everyone had a great time, from myself (the birthday girl who asked for this class as her birthday gift) to skeptical husbands (who showed up out of solidarity ready to “endure “ and ended up loving it). Valeria is a great teacher. She was passionate and patient, generous with her time and the supplies. Our flower arrangements were stunning! Thank you!
