🌿🎁🎄✨️IT'S TIME✨️🎄🎁🌿

Workshops are back for another year ❤️

I'm am blessed to be super busy over the festivities, which means these are the only two Christmas wreath workshops I am advertising. If you fancy joining us, now is the time to organise!

You've a choice of two fabulous afternoons of festive creativity, with all the tools, pretty bits and everything you need to get in the Christmas spirit. Also, there will be BOWS (some of you may know, this is a big deal for me)! 🎀

Info for each class is in the picture, to book please DM with the below info:

📍WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND
👭WHO'S COMING
🫒DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Spaces are limited at both workshops and are to be confirmed with a £10 per person booking fee.

If you're new / fancy coming alone, don't be put off, it's fun. I get so nervous for these workshops, and worry no one will come, but then you all do and it's great 💃🏻

PS - I am booked for a few private slots / on behalf of venues. I know I'm wild, but if this is something you and a group of 8 or more fancy, I have a couple of evening spaces available in early December, message to enquire.
