Ok, so maybe we didn’t exactly deck the halls with boughs of holly, but few of the 50 or so people that were present at last Sunday’s wreath making workshop would deny that between 3pm and 5 we came very, very close.
The creativity that each of our guests displayed was quite remarkable. There were wreaths with lights, and wreaths without; there were wreaths with baubles, bangles and beads and wreaths without; there were wreaths weighed down by pine cones, cinnamon sticks and what to me looked like slices of dried up tangerine, and of course there were some without. There was even one wreath that was decorated with strip after strip of cloth. In fact such was the contrast that the only thing this myriad display of eclecticism did have in common was that by the time they were finished what at five to three had started out as a simple 10 inch ring were swathed in enough greenery to cover my back garden.
Away, don’t take my word for it, judge for yourself. There’s a gallery below which you can view by simply clicking on any one of the images.
Oh and again, huge thanks to Shelley who owing to a last minute change of plan suddenly found herself leading the entire session, and of course to those who set up, swept up, washed up and served up refreshments.
