Join Lauren & Louisina in their bright, flower filled studio while they walk you through their approach, methods and materials in creating natural home decor for the festive period. Decorating our homes with evergreens, dried flowers, branches, candles, vintage jingle bells, and other antique decorations and botanical objects is a magical ritual we both enjoy immensely at this time of year. On this workshop, we will teach you how to create a showstopping table centrepiece with the finest evergreen foliage, dried flowers and moss on a framework of twisted willow. We will then teach you how to make a lush foliage garland to drape on a fireplace, around a doorway or another pride of place at home. There will also be a photography styling session with a mantlepiece, lights, candles, and other curios to display and document your creations before taking them home to enjoy over the festive period. Decorating our homes with evergreens is a beautiful and ancient winter tradition which began as a mark of respect for the plants and trees which are able to survive in the harshness of winter. Create your own yuletide home decor and enjoy this slow, medative and seasonal pursuit in the comfort of our bright and airy flower studio; the perfect antidote to a hectic year. We will provide you with demonstration, guidance and materials required to make yuletide home decor in the days of dahlia style.

 

Each student will have an exciting and varied selection of our seasonal, farm-grown foliage to work with, dried flowers, vintage brass jingle bells and our own botanically dyed silk velvet ribbons. Table centrepieces will be constructed on our own crafted willow bases with the willow grown on our farm. We don't use floral foam or plastic in any of our work or teaching. Delicious refreshments will be served to keep the creativity and energy flowing. All refreshments, materials, foliages, and the use of aprons and sundries are included in the price of this workshop.

Our sustainable floristry workshops provide support and inspiration in developing your own floral style and encourages you to develop confidence and flair by slowly building your taste and experience. By allowing yourself to be attuned to nature and its imperfections, your floristry arrangements will in turn be more authentic and more beautiful. The designs you will make to take home are not just for Christmas, they will dry over time and last for many years in their own unique and faded beauty. These items are made of 100% compostable ingredients and created using the finest seasonal materials harvested from our farm.
