Working with Willow | Wreath Making Workshop (Afternoon)

A wreath is not just for Christmas…. We’ve decided to switch things up when it comes to Christmas wreaths this year and are working with willow to make your wreath more sustainable, natural and lasting so you can reuse it year after year.

Julie - is your willow weaving expert will lead you through various techniques of how to create a one of kind, natural wreath. She’ll also share more about the various varieties of willow, and how to harvest and prepare willow for weaving on your own, before you’ll get stuck into making your own wreathe.

We’ll provide decorations for you to design your wreath however if you have a specific design/decorations or even something personal that you would like to add to your wreathe please feel welcome to bring your own too.

This course is suitable for those with no previous experience, you’ll need a little bit of hand strength and a little bit of patience in your creations but it’s all worth it.
