Join us for a Wreath Making Workshop in the beautiful surroundings of the Heart of England Forest.
Spend a relaxing morning learning to create a wreath inspired by the month of May and all its beautiful blooms. In a small, friendly, group environment, you will learn techniques, to create a willow wreath decorated with spring foliage.
The workshop will start with a relaxing mindful walk in our beautiful forest to forage the materials for the wreaths, learning a little about the trees and plants we have in the forest along the way. Most of the materials will be foraged from our inspiring forest ensuring sustainability. We will then return to base which will be outdoor or indoor depending on the weather conditions, to use the foraged material to construct a spring wreath.
Your instructor Elly Joplin, is a skilled fine artist and crafts person, previously having been an art teacher and now one of our Outdoor Education Officers here at the Heart of England Forest.
All materials are included in the price.
Tea/coffee/buscuits will be provided, however, we also encourage you to bring your own packed lunch as this is full day workshop.
At the end of the session, you will be able to take home your finished wreath.
The group size is limited to eight to ensure appropriate tuition time per participant. Suitable for adults aged 18+ only.
Maximum number of attendees: 10 adults
Please note that a minimum number of attendees will need to be reached for the workshop to proceed.
