Create Academy are on a mission to inspire the nation to discover their creative side with beautifully curated video courses, giving unprecedented access to the UK’s best designers, makers, gardeners and chefs.

To celebrate Craft Week 2024, Fortnum’s are partnering with Create Academy to offer 5 incredible makers the opportunity to demonstrate their talents in a series of hands-on workshops all themed around the dining table.

Discover the art of everlasting floral arranging. Learn to make soulful creations for your home, with expert guidance from Bex Partridge on harvesting and drying flowers.  

Bex Partridge is a leading dried flower artist, stylist and grower who specialises in creating sustainable everlasting designs, displays and installations. From her studio in Devon she works with dried flowers throughout their entire lifecycle; from seed to plant to harvest, and then on to drying and arranging. Her designs are wild, whimsical and nature-led, with a focus on seasonality and always free of any human intervention (no dying, bleaching or sprayed blooms), reflecting the natural world around us and offering the chance to bring nature into our spaces, however big or small.

All the materials you will need for the workshop are included in the ticket price.
