Workshops
I offer a range of seasonal workshops throughout the year, from Christmas wreaths to hand-tied bouquets. Each last around 4 hours. All materials and light refreshments are supplied and following a demonstration, you will make your own arrangement to take home with you.
Find out more information about each workshop below.
Seasonal Workshops
Easter Workshop
Using seasonal flowers you will learn to make an Easter themed arrangement. I like to use as much locally sourced product for this workshop incorporating lost of twigs spring flowers and the odd egg or two!
Summer Workshop
This workshop will include taking you to a local pesticide free grower to collect our blooms. We will return to Blackhurst to make beautiful, low carbon footprint country arrangements and hand ties.
Autumn Workshop
I love using gourds and squash for floristry. This workshop will include using beautiful autumn glow flowers and locally sourced organic pumpkin gourds etc to make a really fantastic autumn arrangement.
Christmas Workshop
Join me to create interesting and individually designed Christmas wreaths and table decorations. This year we are combining good food and a lovely venue with creative classes
Group Workshops
The Hen party workshop
Not sure what to do for your hen do? Don’t fancy dancing around town in a cowgirl hat? Want to do something creative that is inclusive of all age groups? The Wedding Hen Workshop is a perfect alternative. Served with a cream tea for summer weddings!
Corporate Workshops
Team building with a difference… Last year I took the Christmas workshop on tour in London. I provide all the equipment necessary for your whole team (including the boys who loved it!) to create wonderful Christmas wreaths.
Some Kind Words…
“I can highly recommend Rare Nature Designs Christmas Wreath workshops, they are fun and a great start to the Christmas festivities.
Even if you are not naturally gifted in design, like me, Lorraine explains everything so well and takes time with everyone in the group to help you put your ideas together and make suggestions so you come away with a beautiful wreath.
All the materials, including gorgeous foliage and quirky additions, are provided so that you can make your wreath unique.
It’s a lovely way to spend a few hours with friends and family, with lovely food and drink in a beautiful setting and come away with a wreath or table decoration that you can be proud of!”
Christmas Wreaths
Christmas is a busy time for everyone but not least in the floristry industry. I am running 4 workshops in late November and early December teaching people how to make Christmas wreaths and table centres. Christmas starts with decking the halls, and we do it in style with a light meal, a glass of fizz and some gorgeous sustainable Christmas decorations which can either be for you or a fantastic gift to a friend or loved one.
