I am really happy to announce I'll be teaching a wreath making workshop with Grace from design*sponge at the Brooklyn Flea this coming Sunday!
When Grace asked me if I'd be interested in leading the class I was really over the moon. Holiday wreaths are often maligned and ignored, but oh lord, there is nothing better than a good, wild natural wreath. The smell alone will boost your serotonin levels ten-fold.

To get in gear, I went down to Maryland to forage in the woods for greens to bring back to Brooklyn for the class. It was cold. Like damn cold. This is how much I love you, friends. Micha and I gathered for 2 hours while the temperature hovered around 25 degrees.
We have boatloads and boatloads of gorgeous things for the class, we both were completely giddy once we thawed inside and got to start playing with everything. It was, seriously, the best day we've had in a long time. Who knew wreath making was so fun and easy? Even my dad got really into it.

The class is this Sunday the 19th at 10am. The workshop costs $40, including all of the wreath materials, clippers and floral wire. (Um, cheap at even twice the price!)
I'm so so looking forward to Sunday and I really hope some of you New York locals sign up, we have a few spots left and I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.








Wow! If you made the main one pictured, that is ridiculously gorgeous!!! Wish I was in NY so that I could attend your class.

ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I really had so so much fun with it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I SO wish I could come!! Now I want to find out if anyone's doing that around here...
ReplyDeleteWish I lived in New York or you lived in Scotland. Then I could go to a wreath making class - they look great!
ReplyDeletegorgeous wreath!! i made my own this year too, but you are giving me great ideas for next year. good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are always really great.
ReplyDeleteThe wreath looks great! I might have to do this sometime. :)
Wow - it all looks gorgeous. I would definitely come if I lived nearby.
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful, it looks fun too! Lovely photos
ReplyDeleteSuch happy photos!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and sweet wreath. Here in the Pacific Northwest it doesn't get too cold, but a friend and I went out and gathered Cedar branches and holly berries to make wreaths. Now the front door of my house looks festive and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays
looks so beautiful! i actually have a stand at the brooklyn flea but i myself won't be there Sunday :(! i so wish i could come and take the class.. i hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteI adore nandina berries.... gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love handmade wreaths! The ones pictured are holiday perfect!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your class! I actually have a question, do you go out into the woods to collect your materials? This must sound funny but I'm from LA and I can't imagine going out to get greenery for my apartment seeing as we have none/belongs to someone.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazingly fun. No one in Marrakech has wreaths and it's just so, well, sad. I want to make one now!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath is so pretty! It sounds so fun to be out in the woods gathering the materials too. Hope your class went well!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! Just beautiful. I wish I could be there, but alas I'm in snowy Ireland and the airport is closed!
ReplyDeleteHope the class was a smashing success! Your work is just stunning.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you brought your camera along so we can see more of the adventure!!!
The final product is so beautiful and a little spunky. I bet it smells festive as well. Just the idea of foraging puts the glint in my eye and your efforts are heroic and inspirational. I love the photos on the ice. All magical.. I truly wish I was in New York to participate in the workshop.
ReplyDeleteI´m in love with your blog. Congratulations, i will follow it for sure ;)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are simply breathtaking!!
