Ramisilo is a specialist floristry education service connecting students across Australia and internationally with practitioners who teach from real experience - not textbooks. Our masterclasses are structured around what actually works in professional settings, from bridal arrangements to seasonal studio work.
Est. 2015
Ramisilo began as a small studio in Perth offering weekend workshops for people who wanted to move beyond hobbyist flower arranging. Over time, the format shifted toward structured curriculum - shorter, focused modules that fit around full-time schedules without sacrificing depth. The online platform launched to serve students who couldn't travel but wanted the same quality of instruction. Today participants join from across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Southeast Asia.
Each masterclass is designed around these principles - not as a brand statement, but because they came directly from student feedback over years of iteration.
Every module begins with the physical mechanics - stem conditioning, wire gauge selection, foam-free structural support. Students who understand why a design holds together can adapt to any brief. Those who only learn the visual result can't.
Practice exercises use real client briefs - a 40-guest autumn wedding, a hotel lobby seasonal refresh, a sympathy arrangement with a strict budget. Students work through the constraints, not around them.
Instructors review submitted work with written notes that reference specific choices - not general encouragement. Progress takes longer this way, but it sticks.
None of our instructors teach exclusively. Each one maintains an active practice - seasonal floristry, event work, or wholesale supply relationships. That's a deliberate requirement, not a coincidence. It means the techniques they demonstrate are ones they used last week, not ones they learned a decade ago.
Instructor availability is limited by design. Smaller cohorts per session mean more time spent on individual submissions and fewer generic responses.
Lead - Bridal & Event
Runs a boutique wedding studio in Melbourne. Teaches the Bridal Foundations and Advanced Ceremony Design modules. Feedback is detailed and sometimes blunt - students consistently rate it as the most useful part.
Module feedback avg: 6 business days
Instructor - Dried & Preserved
Based in Edinburgh, teaches remotely across all time zones. Specialises in foam-free mechanics and sustainable materials sourcing. Her module on preserved botanicals is among the most enrolled on the platform.
Active cohort: 18 students
