Holiday Wreath Workshop

Yes, the Annual Wreath Workshop commenced! We all took note of how wreath making is rather unique in the Floral Design Family of Techniques, with it's sculptural aspect of creating mass with bundles, wire wrapping, negotiating the bulk of greens, the detailing, etc.

Many were surprised by how many greens are required to make a wreath. The large pile that awaited each of them was used up in short order. After the initial terror for newcomers, they got into the grove and return participants noted making the second and third wreath gives a certain ease, practice, practice!

Lastly we had a run on traditional red bows this year. The prior year, no bows were used. Hmmm...which gives me some ideas for mixing it up next year....


Everyone did a great job creating textural, lush creations!  Thanks everyone. What a fun morning.
