Group size: 6 people per workshop, must be aged 14+

Wreaths have a long history in many cultures, from symbolising power in the Greek, Roman and Persian empires, to farmers using them to protect their crops. The circle shape symbolised eternity and the evergreen leaves signify hope and life.

Your wreath will last the entirety of the festive season even if kept outdoors, you can then compost it or save and re-use the woven base for next year.
