Brief Description:
Start the festive season in style this year with your own fresh, long lasting festive ring. With no knowledge of flower arranging required, come along and learn how to create a ring with long lasting pine and other long-lasting foliage and plant material including decoration to mark the season. If you would rather complete a table-based advent ring rather than a door hanging, just let me know at the start of the day. All materials are included in the course fee. Just bring your scissors.
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
No prior knowledge required. Please notify the college of any plant allergies before attending.
If you prefer a floral foam ring please state this at the time of booking
