Cheney SchoolWinter is a time of warmth, texture, and creativity, and what better way to embrace the season than by crafting your own beautiful, sustainable wreath? This all-day workshop is designed for those who love working with natural materials and want to create a unique, eco-friendly wreath that reflects the beauty of the season.
Guided by a fresh, modern approach to floristry, this workshop focuses on resourceful, sustainable design, moving away from artificial decorations and instead working with foraged, locally sourced, and repurposed materials. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned floral enthusiast, you’ll leave with a stunning handcrafted wreath and the skills to create more festive floral pieces at home.
After the lunch break, we’ll dive into a collaborative group activity to style a stunning table centrepiece using seasonal flowers, foliage, fruit and vegetables. Expect a lively, hands-on session where we’ll play with textures, shapes, and unexpected elements. During the workshop I will share some of my best-kept floristry tips, along with plenty of practical tips. There will be time for a Q&A, so bring your questions, curiosity, and creative spirit!"
