Description

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY', so why not develop a new skill this festive season? In this workshop in a box you will not only learn to create the most beautiful wreath, but you will also learn how to weave the base to create your very own unique Christmas Wreath, from scratch! No plastic or metal frames here, as the simple willow/vine ring that you weave, will be used as your base and then decorated using natural materials, lush foliage, scented herbs, berries, cones, fruit and so much more. You do not need any prior experience or floristry skills, but bags of enthusiasm as you will be guided step by step with this LIVE WORKSHOP to create a gorgeous scented wreath. Only natural materials are utilized, ensuring environmentally friendly credentials and furthermore the base can be reused year on year, season to season. You can decide to keep some of the willow exposed to show off the natural beauty of the twisted vines or you can cover it with evergreen foliage. Either way the wreath will be a reflection of your creativity and taste. Should you prefer a bit of bling, ribbon, Xmas Baubles or even fairy lights, are easy to add. After the season, don't forget to remove the material and pack the base away, ready to bring it out again to decorate for Spring in the New Year.

Jenni is a passionate florist, creator, crafter and teacher with over 35 years in the floral industry with extensive expertise in both wholesale and retail and events. Originally from South Africa where she started out in the wholesale of dried flowers and then naturally moved into fresh flowers where she ran 3 successful florist shops. There was an opportunity for expansion to the UK in the dried flower division so she moved with her family and established 2 very successful florist businesses in Wimbledon and Chelsea with a celebrity portfolio. After 10 years, missing the warmth of Africa she moved to Spain and lived bordering a nature reserve where she would host many wildflowers walks, foraging workshops and courses. At her luxury venue, she hosted many of weddings and functions, often to 1000's of guests at a time. After 20 years in Spain, she came back to the UK and set up a studio florist in the Oxfordshire area, specialising in wedding and events and craft workshops. Jenni combines her extensive floristry and gardening experience after establishing 3 gardens from scratch and is now not only a small scale flower farmer, but also grows and dries her own flowers as well as making crafts and selling DIY kits and hosting in-person workshops for all levels and abilities in Didcot, Faringdon and Nettlebed Woodlands, Near Henley on Thames. Her style is natural and draws from and reflects the influence of the different countries that she lived in and her surroundings including her private woodland that a lot of her material is sourced and grown in. Sustainability is a key principal in her designs as well as caring for the environment in all aspects of her floristry work.
