Create a stunning Christmas wreath for your home using fir sprigs, decorative coloured foliage and a bow, with Lidiia, a Ukrainian florist.

Tutor: Lidiia Khramenkova

Join Lidiia, a florist from Ukraine, who'll teach you how to create a stunning, colourful Christmas wreath to be proud of this festive season! You’ll use fir sprigs, coloured foliage and seed heads to make a stylish natural wreath to decorate your home. Embellish your unique decoration with a gorgeous cotton fabric bow, maybe even a tinkling bell, a Ukrainian symbol of peace and unity.

Flowers and wreaths are part of traditional Ukrainian culture, and Lidiia would like to invite you to share her passion for floristry and to enjoy getting creative. Previous participants of her workshop said:

"Absolutely loved it! Thank you! The one to one support. The location, interacting with others! The quality of the wreaths and teaching from Lidiia!"

"The best wreath workshop I’ve attended. Lidiia demonstrated clearly how to construct the wreaths however encouraged our own creative interpretations...a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and perfect location."
