Cornish Welcome Wreath Workshop

What You’ll Learn The ancient tradition of weaving flowers and foliage into a circle with no beginning or end has long symbolised the cycle of life, the changing seasons and our connection with the natural world. Join us in celebrating the beauty of the Cornish summer as you create your own living wreath inspired by this enduring tradition. With relaxed, step-by-step guidance, you’ll create a beautiful partly living Cornish welcome wreath using miniature Cornish plants, seasonal foliage and beautiful blooms. All equipment and materials are provided, making this workshop perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike. Your finished wreath can be displayed on your door as a warm welcome or used as a beautiful table centrepiece. Designed to continue growing long after the workshop, it will thrive for months with a little gentle watering and care, providing a lasting reminder of a Cornish summer. Workshop Details Date: Wednesday 19 August Time: 10am – 12.30pm Skill Level: Beginner Price: £49 per person All equipment and materilas provided and sourced in Cornwall by Angela Tutor: Angela Read – The Cornish Wreath Maker
