In a couple of hours you will create your very own gorgeous, scented  Christmas Wreath to adorn your door.   

First you will  create the eco-friendly base, by learning to weave a simple circular shape using vine and willow.    The techniques used in this construction are skills that can be used for making future wreaths from scratch and a great introduction to willow weaving.

The next part of the wreath making process is the creative part where you get to learn to bind your chosen foliage onto the wreath base.    There is a large range of fresh leaves, berries, and variegated foliage to choose from to ensure that you create a unique wreath that reflects your style and personality.

The final and most fun where you can decorate your wreath using cones, dried fruit, or set it off with a stunning bow.   You could even add some twinkling fairy lights for a sparkling addition to your Christmas Decor.

At each and every step of the way, you will be guided from start to finish by an experienced tutor in a relaxed but fun environment.

You will be given invaluable guidance and professional trade secrets and shown how to create the perfect centrepiece, either circular or oval shaped, which will be fit to grace  any Christmas Table.

 Using scented seasonal evergreens, holly, pine cones,  berries, with complimentary dried decorations such as orange slices, seed heads, cones  all beautifully arranged around a non drip candle of your choice.  (Pillar  in Ivory or tapered candle in white or red) will ensure that it will be the focal point on  your dinner table.

The arrangement will not only make a lovely unique decoration but the floristry skills that you learn at this workshop can be reused for future dinner parties and celebrations.




Christmas Floral Table Centre Piece Arrangement

CHRISTMAS TABLE CENTREPIECE FLORAL ARRANGEMENT CLASS

Incorporating Flowering Spring Bulbs & Foliage on a natural base!

It's time to brighten up your door and bring some joy to your home once again with a gorgeous Living Spring Bulb Wreath. Alternatively, these beautiful 'on trend' and, more importantly, sustainable wreaths,  will brighten an interior wall and are perfect for early Spring, Mother's Day and Easter Gifts.     

You will love making these all natural wreaths either in a circular or tear drop shape (Ideal for Easter)  that appeal to both gardeners and crafters.  First,  you will learn to create and weave a beautiful willow/birch  wreath base and cover it with a layer of moss as a foundation for the beautiful springtime bulbs and seasonal foraged treasures.  

You will be guided step by step through the process of binding on the bulbs and arranging the additional foliage on the wreath to ensure a unique and personalised wreath.  Depending on seasonal availability,  there will be a selection of mixed bulbs eg. Hyacinths, Muscari, Narcissus,Tête-à-Tête' Crocus or Tulips.

Once completed the wreath will evolve and grow and If watered weekly, the different bulbs will gradually grow and bloom  over the weeks ensuring a wonderful splash of colour and a warm welcome to visitors, passers by and yourself each time you return home.     
The wreath is completely sustainable as after flowering, the  bulbs can be planted out in the garden or stored in a cool, dark place for the following year. The wreath base can also be reused, making it extremely eco -friendly.

SPRING LIVING WREATH WORKSHOP 

Sue James 

I absolutely loved this workshop.  Jenni explained and demonstrated each step clearly before giving  the participants time to complete that step. The result was a beautiful tear drop wreath filled with Spring bulbs. I will certainly be looking  to book on to other workshops in the future.

Ellen Conway

A lovely informative and relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

Susan Sands

I really enjoyed making my Spring wreath. It’s a great idea to make wreaths for other seasons, not just for Christmas. Including flowering bulbs is unusual so the living wreath will keep on changing as they flower. Our teacher was warm and welcoming and gave clear, easy to follow instructions. My friend and I made different shapes so we learned how to make both!

Val Spring

Loved the experience- had a wonderful time.
Jenni is very experienced, enthusiastic and a great facilitator.
I was absolutely delighted with my finished wreath, having learned so much and would thoroughly recommend Jenni’s classes, whatever you are a beginner or more experienced crafter. 
Thank you Jenni.

A GORGEOUS 'FAUX'EVER SPRING WREATH

Eden

Jenni is so friendly and patient and I really enjoyed my wreath making experience.     I am so inspired to try new and more advanced designs and feel that I have taken away a skill that will help me develop into other crafts projects.    I have mastered basic weaving and also touched on some floristry techniques which gives me the confidence to try more crafts and courses, which hopefully she will offer in the future.      I will definitely recommend her workshops to friends and family.    Thank you so much Jenni for a brilliant experience.  The wreath looks amazing on the front door and I have already received so many compliments.  Eden

A GORGEOUS 'FAUX'EVER SEASONAL WREATH

A passion for all things floral .........

Since Jenni can remember, she has always loved flowers. Her earliest memories are of helping her Grandmother in her potting shed with her African Violets. The most treasured are walking amongst her beautiful Rose Garden with it's heady scents and gorgeous blooms.

Flowers have a way of bringing back special and poignant moments in our lives, birthdays, anniversaries and another of one of the most important days of one's life, a wedding day.. As a floral designer it is Jennis' utmost privilege to be involved in a bride and grooms celebrations and work with them to bring their ideas and vision to life that reflects their style and personalities.

A passion for all things handcrafted ..........

As a daughter of a Goldsmith, Jenni would be at her Father's workshop, watching him making jewelry from melting down the gold, to setting the precious stones, to the finished piece. Jenni has the utmost respect for the process and as such it is her joy to host workshops, to teach and inspire.

Jenni runs regular workshops, as well as private craft workshops for parties, hen parties and special occasions.
