Who is this for…?
A workshop for adults. Individuals, friends, family groups and work parties. (For private party bookings, please contact us to arrange woodlandwondersforestschool@gmail.com)
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. Using a selection of different types of foliage to create your wreath and a variety of different embellishments to decorate it 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 pre-made 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 fabric ribbons.
