Christmas Wreath Making Workshop
Make your own fresh Christmas wreath for the front door, with expert help and a mince pie in hand.
Price: £45 per guest Teacher: Ada Haygarth, The Flower Arranging School
Overview
A shop-bought wreath looks fine. One you made yourself looks better, smells of pine every time you open the door, and gets talked about by everyone who visits. In this three-hour festive workshop at our Nantwich studio, you’ll build a full-size fresh wreath from scratch and take it home the same day.
What you’ll do: Ada has spent years making floral designs for film, television and weddings, and she’ll take you through every stage of the wreath at a pace that suits the group. You’ll start by packing a moss base onto a wire ring, which is the part that keeps a wreath fresh and full for weeks. Then you’ll layer in seasonal greenery such as Nordmann fir, blue pine, eucalyptus and holly, working round the ring so it sits evenly.
Once the base is done, the fun part starts. You’ll wire in pine cones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks and berries, then finish with a hand-tied ribbon bow. Ada will show you how to make it look generous without overloading it, and how to keep it looking good well past Christmas Day.
You don’t need to be crafty. Plenty of our guests arrive saying they “can’t do this sort of thing” and leave with the best wreath on their street.
