Eco Native Wreath Workshops
In Collaboration with Open Hands Creative
We know there are a lot of Wreath Workshops happening in Perth, so what makes ours different? First of all, our wreaths are sustainable and eco-friendly; they are handmade with 100% natural, locally sourced materials and are fully compostable! So, you can feel great knowing you are not damaging the Earth this Christmas. Second of all, this fresh Christmas wreath is pretty big (approx. 50cm diameter!). The final result is a very large, very full, ready to hang floral wreath handmade by you!
After the workshop is done you can hang your fresh festive creation on your front door or in your home to enjoy! Watch your wreath transform and naturally dry over the following weeks as you enter the new year, and then keep as an everlasting piece.
Upcoming Dates:
- Sunday 10th November 2pm-5pm @ Feld & Co Booragoon
- Wednesday 13th November 6.30pm-9pm @ Feld & Co Booragoon
