Wreath Making
Join a workshop led by Jean Lawton and create your own eco-friendly, locally-foraged wreath in time for Christmas.
- Booking essential
Come and make a plastic-free, natural wreath with local maker Jean Lawton in the warmth of Tinkley Gate Cafe.
All the natural materials are hand-foraged from Woodchester Park, down to the woven hazel bases that you will craft your wreath onto.
Jean uses woven hazel as the base for her wreaths, without the need for packing with damp moss.
Choose from the delicate alder, sprigs of larch cones, mistletoe or holly berry accents, evergreen pine or cedar branches and more naturally growing foliage to create a wreath showcasing the beauty of a Cotswolds winter.
Jean will also have a selection of her own wreaths and potted hyacinths available to buy at the workshop - a lovely, festive gift idea.
Some tools and all materials will be provided. Each session is 2 hours long for £35 and includes a complimentary hot drink from the cafe.
