About this event
Come and join Trudi Edmunds, our resident wreath-making tutor for more than 12 years, to create your own stunning wreath using freshly-foraged greenery from the beautiful grounds of Rougham Estate. This half-day workshop will leave you feeling festive and inspired to make more!
What Will I do?
- You will begin by foraging for fresh Nordmann fir pine sprigs and holly from the Estate grounds
- Learn how to craft a traditional wreath from start to finish, using a natural reusable ring base
- Discover the best techniques for sustainable wreath making and learn how to make embellishments using pine cones, dried fruits, cinnamon sticks, ribbons and more!
- Receive step by step guidance from Trudi and take home your very own handmade wreath!
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 16 and over
- Beginners welcome, no prior experience needed
- Anyone looking to be creative, get hands-on and enjoy a festive afternoon out.
Enjoy a fun and creative few hours, and leave with a beautiful Christmas wreath made by you, as well as all the skills to make sustainable wreath for years to come.
