Ever wanted to learn how to make your own Christmas wreath in the traditional way? Come and make one for your own door.
Jane will demonstrate how to make a Christmas door wreath using willow to create the 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 and natural foliage.
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!

“I really enjoyed the day, [creating] something I hadn’t done before. Jane was really good, demonstrated each process and went around helping us all. When I arrived, Jane was very nice and explained a few things about what to expect from the day. Jane was very well organised with everything in place for each person”
