CHRISTMAS GARLANDS
In this workshop, I will teach you how to construct foliage garlands and decorate them. Fresh garlands do not last very long in our cosy homes in winter but this one will be short enough to hang from your front door as an alternative wreath. Having learned the technique and taken home with you my detailed instructions to remind you, you will be able to creative garlands as long as you like to decorate your home during the festive period - from mantlepieces to staircases and beyond.

You could learn the skill at an early December workshop and recreate another one, or two, nearer to the Big Day.
