CoURSE Description

|Due to the great success of last year’s Wreath making course we have decided to run it again this year. Make a beautiful half or full Christmas wreath on a willow ring.

The course includes essential mince pies, tea, coffee, the willow ring base, tasteful foliage including eucalyptus and rosemary, pheasant feathers, pinecones, ribbon, yew tree branches, cinnamon sticks, lichen twig and much more. Jen and her team will be able to guide you through using the floristry wire to make your bespoke piece. The barn conversion workshop is festively decorated and seasonal music is playing quietly in the background to get you in the mood for the build up to the magic of Christmas!

Although no glass is in this course it is a wonderfully creative relaxing evening course to get you in the festive spirit and show off your tasteful wreath that greets friends and passers by at your front door.

Mince pies and spiced biscuits will be in plentiful supply!

FAQs

Q: What should I wear?

A: Just comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty, and closed-toe shoes (nothing open like sandals or flip-flops). Avoid loose sleeves if possible, but we have elastic bands if needed.

Q: What's included in the course price?

A: Everything you need – all glass, tools, kiln firing, safety equipment, tea and coffee throughout the day, and biscuits. You just need to bring yourself! The only extra would be if you want to make additional pieces beyond what’s included in the course.

Q: Do I take my finished pieces home the same day?

For fusing courses, no – your pieces need to go in the kiln, so you can collect them when they’re ready (usually a week or so later) or we can post them to you but we really don’t recommend postage because glass is easily broken in the post. You can choose postage at your own risk, we charge a minimum of £8 (depending on the size of the piece) to cover postage cost & packaging.

For stained glass, copper foiling and other non-fusing courses, yes – you take them home at the end of the course.

Q: What if I don't finish my piece?

A: Don’t worry, we build in enough time for everyone to complete their projects. Jennifer keeps an eye on everyone’s progress. If you’re a bit slower, that’s fine – we’d rather you do it properly than rush.

Q: Is lunch provided?

A: We provide tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout the day, but not lunch. You’re welcome to bring sandwiches to eat in our comfy break area or outside if the weather’s nice, or there are plenty of nice pubs & cafes approx 1 mile away in the centre of Frodsham.

Q: How do I find you?

A: We’re pretty easy to find – just off the main road between Frodsham and Kingsley. We’re upstairs in the Barn at Bradley Farm Stables (look out for the horses 🙂 )

Our studio address is

Bradley Farm,
