Festive workshop at Blackwell
Treat yourself or someone special to a mindful, hands-on experience crafting a luxurious wreath using sustainably grown and dried British foliage and festive florals. Guided by Ashley from The Floralistas, you’ll create a wild and whimsical design finished with ribbons on a handmade willow base, grown locally in Cumbria.
Each wreath is 100% compostable and made to last — you’ll even learn how to reuse your base year after year, inspired by the changing seasons.
This relaxing three-hour workshop at Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house on Wednesday 10 December between 10:30am–1:30pm invites you to slow down, make mindfully, and embrace the beauty of the natural world.
Tickets include tea, cake and entry to the house. All materials and tools provided.
Advance booking is required for this workshop.
