Christmas Wreath Making Workshops

27 November 2021

Workshop dates: We are running workshops every weekend from Saturday 27th November through to the Sunday 19th December. Plus a few weekdays throughout December

Who is this for… A workshop for adult or young people from aged 13years (under 16’s must be accompanied by a paying adult)

What to expect…. Our popular traditional wreath making workshops are designed for the complete novice and also those who have some experience. You will spend a relaxed 2.5 hours learning how to make your very own traditional Christmas wreath to adorn your door. You will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of traditional wreath making, from mossing the ring through to decorating the wreath to your desired taste. Advise will also be given on how to look after your wreath once at home to keep it looking in perfect condition throughout the festive period.

There will also be complementary snacks, mulled wine or spiced apple juice to enjoy throughout the session and help to get us all in the Christmas spirit. Places on our wreath making workshops are limited to 10 people ensuring there is enough time to spend helping people to create their perfect wreath.

About our wreaths…. Our wreaths are made on moss rings and are created from traditional natural foraged materials such as Holly, Ivy, Conifer, Pittosporum etc, decorated with dried fruits, cones, berries, dried teasels and poppy heads etc and finished with a choice of natural Hessian ribbon.

Price: £35.00 (not including eventbrite fee) price includes all materials to make your wreath, mulled wine or spiced apple juice and snacks.

Private Wreath Making Parties: We can run private wreath workshops for group of between 10 and 14 people, for groups of friends, Christmas work parties, groups and organisations. Parties can either be at our site or in at your chosen place. Please contact us for details.

What to bring with you? Please bring with you a fairly well fitting pair of gardening gloves or thick marigolds, if your gloves are too big it can be hard to feel your way around your moss ring. Holly is prickly so gloves are an essential item to bring. Please also bring a pair of secateurs that you are familiar with using, everything else you will need to create your wreath will be supplied for you.

A Little About Your Wreath Tutor! I have been making and teaching people of all abilities to make traditional Christmas wreaths for about 14 years. Wreath making is a fun and festive activity and I thought everyone should be given the opportunity to learn to make their own wreaths and open to all who wish to have a go!!

Facilities:

  • Free parking is available
  • Toilets are also available on site.
  • This workshop will be run in the communal greenhouse.
  • Hand sanitiser and hand washing facilities available

Please contact me with any questions, we hope to see you there. woodlandwondersforestschool@gmail.co.uk

Covid Policy: We want you to feel re-assured booking with us. So if we are unable to run the workshops due to a lockdown, you will have a choice of a full refund or a bespoke wreath made for you and delivered fresh to your door, within a 5 mile radius.

General cancellation and refund policy: Unfortunately we are unable to give refunds if you are unable to attend, but will happily make and deliver a Christmas wreath to your house local to Chichester or for collection.
