Christmas Wreath Making Workshop

Arts Centre Washington is hosting a Christmas wreath making workshop on Friday 13 November, with Willow & Wreath leading the session. It's one of those things that's easy to put off until the last minute, but getting your wreath sorted in mid-November means you've got it out of the way well before the December rush kicks in.

Lucy from Willow & Wreath runs the whole thing, and the idea is that you build your wreath from scratch rather than just tidying up a pre-made base. You'll be working with seasonal foliage, festive decorations, ribbons and other Christmas details, so you can decide how you want yours to look. It's a hands-on session where you do the making yourself, and you leave with something you've actually put together.

One of the best bits is that you don't need any previous wreath-making experience to join in. Whether you've never touched a piece of foliage in your life or you're just looking to try something new, you'll be guided through the process from start to finish. It's as much about the making as it is about the finished product, so it works just as well as a night out with friends as it does if you're coming on your own.

The workshop starts at 6:00pm and runs for two hours, so you're in and out in one evening. It costs £40, and you'll walk away with your own handmade wreath ready for the door.
