Enjoy a happy day of foraging for hedgerow & meadow plants with Zanna Hoskins from S P I N D L E. On this single day course you will make table centre arrangements for a special event using freshly cut and locally sourced flowers with additional wild flowers & foliage that you have gathered from a walk around our woodland.
The walk will be followed by a demonstration in the workshop, of how to make a variety of table centre arrangements, including a hanging arrangement for a special event. You will use your own favourite vase as well as fully biodegradable natural materials (maybe a bit of fishing line) moss & string to get creative, making the most of scent, colour, texture & form. At the end of the day you'll go home with something beautiful, natural, creative and totally unique to you.
It is the subtlety of the seed heads, tiny flowers & colours of the seasonal British flora that inspire the end result...
