Winter Workshop Calendar

Succulent Wreath Making
Design a Christmas wreath you’ll be proud to put on your door this festive season. This is no ordinary wreath though – you’ll be making a living wreath on a moss base using succulents and decorated with seed pods, herbs, berries and other seasonal ingredients. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they will last for as long as you look after them and, if you ever fancy a change, simply remove the succulents and pot them up!

Seasonal Open Terrarium
Create your very own mini-ecosystem with a seasonal spin! This workshop uses living plants and moss to create mini gardens with additional seasonal decorations for a festive feel. Perfect to give as a gift or use as a table centrepiece. And once the festivities are over, you can easily remove the decorations and enjoy your low-maintenance indoor garden.

Sustainable Advent Calendar
Your own unique and sustainable advent calendar? Yes please! Created using recycled, biodegradable & ethically sourced materials, your sustainable calendar will hang from string on an authentic twig. Vegan sweets and Fairtrade chocolates will be provided to fill your small hessian pouches which can be re-filled each year.

Mini Christmas Tree Potting
Customise and personalise your own mini Christmas tree! Come along to this workshop to decorate and wrap your pot with hessian, tie it with twine, dress it with beautiful miniature baubles, battery powered lights and faux snow. A star topper will finish off this magical Christmas keepsake…

Dried Flower Wreaths
Come and join us for a fun afternoon as you create a beautiful everlasting wreath, based on a willow frame and artfully arranged with a selection of wild, dried and preserved flowers and foliage. 

Succulent Table Arrangements
Our Succulent Arrangement workshops give you a unique opportunity to create your own succulent masterpiece. We have a succulent specialist who’ll bring everything the group needs to create beautiful, professional-looking arrangements, including a variety of succulents, vessels, soil and decorative toppings.

Design Your Own Bauble
Create something wonderful and unique for a friend or family member. Using bone china baubles, our calligraphy artist will teach you how to hand paint fonts and patterns to create a bespoke and personal bauble for that special someone in your life. Or just make one for yourself – you’re special too, remember!

Wool Wreath Making
A stylish alternative to the classic Christmas wreath, wool wreaths are beautiful hanging decorations for the home during the festive period. Learn how to weave wool around a wire frame and create a beautiful seasonal masterpiece in an array of different yarn colours and textures that will last forever.

Festive Foliage Wreaths
Enjoy an afternoon wreath-making session surrounded by the delightful aromas of fresh blue pine, eucalyptus, cinnamon sticks, oranges, pinecones and many more fresh and scented materials. Put yourself in Christmassy mood as you design, assemble and take home your own beautiful creation. 

Gingerbread Buildings
Be guided through a template to create your own customised gingerbread house. Once you’ve successfully crafted the structural foundations of gingerbread, you can then proceed to decorate your creation with a colourful selection of delicious coloured icing, sweets and edible shapes!
