Flower Crowns
This seasonal workshop aimed to teach a little willow work and some floristry skills, whilst providing a whole lot of fun and the option of having a mini photo shoot (no charge but charitable donation to ARC Axminster very much apprecaited) at the end to celebrate your creative skills.
I will show you how to make a willow crown which you will take home with you to use over and over again - as a head crown or a wreath. I will then teach you how to wire flowers and foliage to attach to your crown.
Whether you are planning to create a floral crown for your own event (perhaps a future wedding?), whether you use this workshop as a hen party, birthday celebration or an "I love being in my unique bubble" celebration, you will experience a few hours of creativity in peaceful, safe and homely surroundings.
Duration of workshop: 2-3 hours
