Natural Wreath Making on the Farm
Saturday, December 7, 2024
2 Sessions to choose from!
Morning Session 10:00 - 12:00 p.m.
Afternoon Session. 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
$55.00 per person
Family tickets in registration. One ticket per family group.
Enjoy a cozy afternoon on the farm and gather with your community to sip hot chocolate and warm herb teas while learning to weave, twist, and tie natural farm items like pine cones, holly, and branches of evergreen into a festive delight for your home celebrations this holiday season.
Using natural or reusable wire wreath forms, participants will design and create their own natural wreaths to display indoors or outdoors at home.
Interdisciplinary artist and WFCF Director of Education & Community Engagement, Jessica Herwick, will share the vast history of wreaths across cultures, cool facts about the natural materials collected from the farm, and assist participants in making a unique design incorporating the gifts nature provides to bring joy during the dark months of winter.
Participants are welcome to clip select evergreens from the woodland border along the farm and add to provided greens. Limited hand tools provided. BYO hand gloves, tools, and gathering bags.
All materials provided to create our designs are 100% compostable and/or 100% reusable.
All levels of experience are welcome! This workshop offers instruction for all levels of nature crafters.
This workshop is family friendly and open to adults or adult groups. All ages are welcome. (Youth 17 and younger must be accompanied by an adult but can register to make their own wreath)
