What will be covered in the class?
Join tutor Marie Gracie for a walk around the adjacent parkland with a bucket and your secateurs and gather some greenery to create your own festive wreath, learning what greenery works best as you go.  

You will then warm up back in the Arts Centre and be shown how to create a moss-based wreath on which you will fix your greenery.  Finally, you’ll decorate your wreath with traditional pine cones, dried orange rings etc or, if you prefer, some Christmas bling!

What will students leave the class with?
You will leave this workshop with your own wreath ready to hang and the knowledge of how to make traditional wreaths yourself in future.

What will I need to bring?
You need to come dressed for a walk around the park (whatever the weather!).

Bring a bucket for your greenery and a pair of secateurs. The wreath base, moss, twine, wires, ribbons and some materials for decorating your wreath are all provided as part of the course fee but if you would like to bring your own favourite ornaments and/or a small pack of battery operated fairy lights please do.

Location
Ceramics Studio (ground floor with raised tables, narrow doorways). We will also go for a short walk in Great Linford Manor park.
