Ceramic Egg Floral Design
The beauty of this cleverly designed ceramic "vase" is in its versatility. It can be displayed inside or outside and comes with a metal chain with clipped hook for safe display when hanging but sits equally well on the table or in so many situations in the home.
I will teach you to make a simple design in biodegradable foam using floristry techniques but will also talk you through many alternatives for this design, including planted designs.
Duration of workshop: Approx. 2 hours
Cost of workshop: £55 per person

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 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
Cost of workshop: £45
Suitable for: All abilities - not suitable for children

DETAILS OF HOW WORKSHOPS WILL RUN
You are requested to keep an eye on your health on the days leading up to and the morning of the workshop - if anyone attending the workshop has a temperature or any symptoms which may indicate C-19 please do let me know to postpone the workshop.
Where fresh flowers from Cornwall are being used in the workshop, there may be a charge for postponed workshops to cover some of their cost - this and the implications caused by bad weather will be fully discussed with you prior to booking.
OUTSIDE
When you arrive, you will be lead into my large back garden and to the workshop table(s). I have large umbrellas and a huge tree to offer shade but please bear in mind that if English weather interrupts the workshop with more than a small shower, it will need to be rescheduled as I cannot protect you from a huge downpour - this scenario will be explored with you prior to booking.
I will have my own workstation, several metres away from which I will demonstrate - I will wear a shield during the demonstration and request that you wear a mask until you return to your table.
I will remain at my workstation to provide help throughout the workshop - you may visit me individually and masked for help and I am happy to wander around your seated bubble periodically offering help and advice provided always that both you and I are masked.
You will be offered hot/cold drinks and homebaked treats. All cups, glasses and crockery will be taken straight from the dishwasher and I will wear gloves to make and serve refreshments. I would be grateful for your placing your used cups and plates, etc to a small table outside the house for later collection.
Toilet facilities will have been given a deep clean before your arrival and you will have access to them without having to enter the main body of the house. Anti-bacterial wipes will be available as well as individual hand towels.
INSIDE
When you enter my home (you and I will be wearing face masks, please) you will be lead through to my workshop room and requested to use hand sanitiser or visit the downstairs' shower room in order to wash your hands before taking your place at the table. The toilet facilities will have been given a deep clean before your arrival. Anti-bacterial wipes will be available as well as individual hand towels.
