Cressing Temple Barns: One Day Natural Christmas Decorations course with Jo Hammond
Enjoy a relaxing day creating natural decorations in this one day workshop with Jo Hammond.
Begin by weaving willow hoops, which then become the base for Christmas wreaths. You’ll have the choice of many types of greenery, plus berries and cones, to create an individual and lavish decoration for the door or table. In the afternoon, you may wish to continue with wreaths, or make a kissing ball decoration.
All tools and materials are provided; you’re welcome to bring extra plant material to share.
No previous experience needed - there will be guidance step by step.
Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided. Please either bring a packed lunch or visit the on-site Tiptree Tearoom.
This workshop is only suitable for over 18s.
