Evening workshop to craft traditional festive wreaths from fresh local foliage, with mulled wine and mince pies included.
MK Gallery is running festive wreath making workshops from 27 November to 4 December, with evening sessions throughout that window. It's one of those things that's easy to put off until you're rushing through a supermarket on the 23rd, so getting one sorted now means you've actually got something to hang on your door before the rush kicks in.
The workshops are run in support of the gallery, and you'll be working with fresh local foliage to put together a traditional wreath. There's a wide selection of materials provided, so you're not just working with a few sprigs of pine; you can build it out and make it your own. If you want to take it a step further, there are lights available to purchase on the night, which is a handy addition if you're planning to leave it outside over the winter months.
It's not just about the making, either. Each ticket includes a cup of mulled wine and a festive mince pie, so you can lean into the whole evening while you work. All the equipment is supplied, though they do suggest bringing your own gloves — working with fresh foliage can be a bit prickly, and having your own pair makes a difference when you're getting stuck in.
