Description
Start your festive season off with a creative workshop taking in the scents and sounds of Christmas as you work with beautiful botanical materials to create a ring for your door (or alternatively a table). Using a mossed ring we’ll use a seasonal mix of lush foliage, gorgeous berries, fruit and accessories to adorn the decoration. A rich velvet ribbon or natural raffia will complete your design. It could also be used as a delightful memorial tribute. Make it neat or make it wild - the choice is yours. All materials are included in the price so come with a friend, a workmate, a neighbour or just bring your lovely self - you’ll meet a small group of likeminded folk to chat with, get creative with, drink tea with and share seasonal sweet bites with.
What's included in the price?
All materials that are required are included in the price - you’ll receive a ready-mossed ring and a selection of foliage etc. Aprons, gloves and tools are provided for use in the session as are a selection of teas, coffee, biscuits and seasonal sweet bites.

Maker
Creative Flower School based in a leafy, sylvan setting in Ferndown, Dorset. Angela is an experienced professionally qualified florist, having worked in both retail floristry and education. With many years of practical experience as well as over 30 years teaching floristry, floral design and flower arranging, Angela has been awarded several RHS Chelsea Gold Medals for Floristry & Floral Design as well as many other awards including most recently ‘1 of 100 Faces of Floristry’. The ground floor Studio has very easy access, is well equipped, spacious, light and airy with good table space for up to 9 participants. Angela likes to work with seasonal materials and uses British locally grown flowers where possible. She’s also keen to use sustainable methods with the School being foam-free. Angela is also available at the Studio for private parties so you can choose what you’d like to do and when you’d like to do it! A minimum of 6 people are required for this. Alternatively she can travel to your chosen venue. When you visit you’ll be greeted with coffee, biscuits and homemade cake and the tunes playing; you’ll find a relaxed learning environment and meet other likeminded creative folk to chat to, flower with, share a cuppa with and there’ll be all sorts of stories, tips, hints and general loveliness abound! Never happier than when sharing her love for all things natural, Angela would be delighted to welcome you to the Botanical Classroom.
