Ever wanted to learn how to make your own seasonal, natural willow wreath? Come and make your own using foraged and natural materials. At our class you will learn to make a beautiful door garland for your own front door – equally suitable for gate or wall.

Jane will demonstrate how to make your own Christmas door wreath using willow to create the main structure. Then, step by step, you’ll add different materials to create depth and visual points of interest.

We will be using a mixture of willow, natural foliage, dried fruits, ribbons and other decorative adornments and all materials included.

Come and enjoy a few hours in our beautiful space at Yardley Arts, with mulled wine (including non-alcoholic) and minced pies along the way!

Each person will have their own work-station so social distancing can be maintained.

The heating will be on but do wear an extra layer to allow for a drop in temperature at this time of year – Christmas jumpers permitted!

No experience necessary.

Great fun. Beautiful results!
