This was a wonderful introduction to wreath making. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time so I carefully checked out the various courses beforehand. I chose this class because of the the beautiful images on the tutor’s website, and I wasn’t disappointed! You really do get your money’s worth, and more.

We learned how to make a wreath from scratch using a wire frame, moss and an absolute cornucopia of dried and fresh flowers, fruit, berries, leaves, branches and grasses. Most were foraged and some foraged that morning.

We learned about everything from what to pick and when, the legalities of foraging (I didn’t know there were any!), how to furnish the base, how to balance the foliage, how to mount the fruit and berries, and how to quality check throughout. It went in a blur and plenty of chat was to be had. At the end we walked out with huge wreaths - mine admittedly a bit lopsided - which we were very proud of.

I’ll definitely continue making wreaths and I’ll definitely book more workshops with the tutor. You’re in good hands!

Teacher's response

Hi Maggie,

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. So kind of you to take time to write such detail, it really does mean so much when my attendees have had such a wonderful time.
I'm pleased you loved the experience as much as I loved teaching it.
Hope to see you again in the future.

Kindest Regards

Claire

The class and the tutors were absolutely superb - thank you! The quality of the items provided for us to make the wreathes was excellent, the tutors couldn't have been more helpful and it was so much fun. I feel like I have a new skill and it was a wonderful relaxing and sociable way to learn. 10/10!

Fantastic! Thank you so much to Claire for providing such a professional, well organised class. This was the focal point of our company's "Wellbeing Week" and it was a resounding success. Everyone created beautiful Autumn Wreaths with the gorgeous natural materials provided by Amber Jean flowers.
Thank you again!

Claire and Karen were fantastic. We had a lot of fancy material to work with and with their support and advice, every single one of 13 of us left with a dazzling wreath. This workshop was an amazing way to express our creative sides and our personalities and a beautiful wreath for each home came as a bonus. We will hang our wreaths on our doors and over our fireplaces, proud of ourselves. Massive thanks to our instructors!

I loved doing this course with Claire, who was very generous in sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience with me. Claire covered several different types of flower arranging during the course, and gave excellent advice on topics of particular interest to me. I would recommend her courses!
