Who is this for…?
A workshop for adults, individuals, friends, family groups and parent and daughter/son (over 14yrs).
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 ensure there is enough time to spend assisting and guiding people through the process and 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: £36.50 (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, family get togethers 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.
