Spring Wreath Workshops 2025

Join Kate for a hands-on Spring workshop in the greenery barn. This eco-friendly, nature-inspired event invites you to connect with the season and your creativity while using sustainably-sourced, natural materials. You'll learn how to craft a willow wreath from scratch, before combining living plants and bulbs with moss, catkins and budding branches to celebrate the season’s colours and textures.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned makers keen to try something new. Whether you’re aiming for a door wreath or an indoor table design, you’ll be guided through the process to create something beautiful, gathering sustainable crafting tips along the way. All materials and refreshments are provided.

Please note that workshops take place in an unheated barn – suitable warm clothing is essential. Workbenches are provided for standing – please inform me if you require a seated workstation, or have any other accessbility requirements or dietary requests.

Venue: Burton Dassett

Saturday 8 March 10am-1pm £50pp

Greenery Festive Wreath Workshops 2024

Using locally-sourced and many homegrown materials, learn the process of making an eco-friendly and biodegradable outdoor wreath for your home this winter.

In this fun seasonal workshop, you’ll be surrounded by plentiful materials to create a one-of-a-kind wreath, while taking some time out of the silly season busy-ness for a bit of meditative making in a beautiful rural location.

Previous attendees have always gone away having enjoyed the rhythmical process of working around the willow circle and the very personal design they leave with.

Why come to an in-person wreath workshop?

I’ve taught a lot of people how to make a wreath over the past five years. So why come to a workshop rather than just make one at home?

Well aside from a refresher demo and new ideas, it’s also the practicality of having everything you need in one place. While you can make a wreath out of fir alone, the most interesting creations come from the unique combinations of seasonal foliage and decorative materials which people select from the huge range of materials on offer.

Part of the joy of a workshop is gathering with other people to craft together. It doesn’t matter if you’re chatty or introverted, being with other people in a creative environment is a celebratory, festive thing to do, and you can ask for help if you get stuck! Plus, the cake is always homemade and the coffee good.

 

Fancy something different?

While the first two weeks of the month are normally all about wreaths, further into December, I’m also able to offer group workshops making garlands or table decorations, so if you would like to discuss a private workshop for a weekday or weekend, please do get in touch.

Or if you’d like to talk to me about bespoke workshops in the future, suggestions are always welcome. It’s possible to arrange cutting garden tours and picking sessions, or workshops creating hand-tied bouquets, table centres or dried flower wreaths for example.
