When: Sunday 11th October March 2026, 2pm-4pm - I would recommend arriving 5 minutes before the workshop begins to get settled in. Where: This workshop takes place at Marton cum Grafton Village Hall (Marton Memorial Hall) and is conveniently located for those visiting from Harrogate, Wetherby, Ripon, Knaresborough and York. The venue offers toilet facilities, disabled access and on-street parking. What: I love autumn and all the warming colours the season brings! This workshop is definitely a celebration of beautiful burnt oranges, mochas and burgundy. You'll learn how to create a fresh and dried autumn door wreath, before going home with a completed wreath to enjoy. A fresh and dried autumn wreath combines dried flowers with a mix of fresh foliage and flowers that are selected for their ability to retain their colour and structure as they dry. Choose from a beautiful selection of dried stems such as wheat, grasses, strawflowers, poppy seed heads and more! With a mix of dried flowers and carefully selected fresh stems, your wreath will last for weeks (and months) to come. In the workshop you’ll first learn how to create the base of your wreath using a traditional technique. You’ll then choose from an abundance of fresh and dry wreath materials at our wreath bar to adorn your wreath with. You'll then finish your wreath with a beautiful ribbon. Who: This workshop is perfect for all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced florists. Suitable for adults aged 18 and over. Teacher: The session will be hosted by me, Rachel. My workshops are designed to be welcoming, relaxed and creative, giving you the chance to learn new floristry skills in an enjoyable setting. I’ll guide you through each stage of the wreath-making process, sharing expert tips and techniques to help you create a wreath you’ll love. Refreshments: Enjoy tea, coffee, soft drinks and a delicious sweet treat served throughout the afternoon. Please let us know when booking about about any dietary requirements or food allergies.
