Dried Flower Wreath Workshop with Hannah Sibai
Under the expert eye of Hannah, you can choose from a range of flowers and foliage to create your own individually designed wreath. You can even choose whether to fully adorn it with dried flowers or go for a half or symetrical finish!
You will be guided in how to construct your wreath with a variety of colours and textures on a metal hoop.
The flowers used can be quite stong smelling and may affect those with hayfever.
