Christmas wreaths

Each year I host two different types of Christmas wreath workshop where you are welcome to my home in Harleston near Diss for an afternoon of creative fun.

I offer both a traditional and a luxury workshop, both are all natural and biodegradable the traditional will last until the spring should you wish to decorate your shed or garden gate after the Christmas period slowly drying out and turning beautiful silvery and grey colours. The luxury will last a lot longer as it used dried flowers from the meadow although the foliage is fresh and will also turn beautifully silver grey over time, mine is decorating my kitchen wall 2 years later as a country ring and still doesn’t look like it has seen its end.

If you are interested in joining either of my workshops, please take a look below at both classes.

Workshop dates will be advertised and posted on social media and full payment for the event will need paid in advance and unfortunately no refunds but movement to other available dates can be made if space is available, or used on another event within 6 months.

The Traditional Christmas wreath workshop

Using traditional fresh green foliage, I will show you how to create this beautiful and sumptuous larger than normal wreath to decorate your front doors to welcome your Christmas visitors.

All foliage, decorations and tools will be provided so all you need worry about is turning up and having a great time working with beautiful smelling fresh foliage.

To get you in the Christmas spirit, snacks and drinks are provided as the session can take 3 hours depending on how much work and effort you want to put into your masterpiece.

You will learn to create beautiful bundles of foliage and how to attach these to a moss base. I will show you how to wire natural decorations of your choice from my provided selection and add these into the bundles along the way to creating your version of a stunning Christmas wreath.

Dates are limited and groups are small to give help and focus to you to help you produce the wreath you want to take home and share with your family.

If you would like an exclusive bookings just for your families or friends who want to book together a private party with a minimum number of 5 to a maximum of 8 for the booking, please contact me to book an exclusive date.

The Luxury Christmas wreath workshop

Christmas is coming and if your looking for a wreath that is just that little bit more creative and special than the normal holly and fir wraps and a little something different to give your Christmas welcome a bit more stand out from everyone else with a touch of luxury then this workshop is for you!

Just back from a wreath making afternoon – what an awesome experience – so much to choose from. A very informal but informative session where we all came away with a beautiful wreath even though most of us had never done anything like this before

You will have access to a large selection of foliage, berries, feathers and interesting dried flowers and seed heads from the meadow.

We will be learning to make a wreath from start to finish, creating a base and then covering in moss followed by adorning the base with a mixture of beautiful fresh and dried material.

All materials are provided for you so all you need to worry about is turning up and having some creative fun. To get you in the Christmas spirit, snacks and drinks are provided as the session can take 3 hours depending on how much work and effort you want to put into your masterpiece.

I had an amazing time with Helen on Saturday at one of her Christmas wreath making workshops. Helen is a fantastic host, a great teacher & it was a real pleasure to meet some other lovely ladies. I came home with new skills & a beautiful wreath for my door. I give Helen 6 stars but the review bar doesn’t allow it!…I will definitely be seeing Helen & her family again this time next year

I really enjoyed the wreath making workshop on Sunday, great fun and really clear instructions from Helen. The homegrown flowers are beautiful so you can’t fail to make something lovely. I have received so many compliments on my wreath.
