Live Wild: Wreath making

Join experienced local willow weaver, craftsperson and RHS certified gardener, Sofie Corfield, for this festive wreath making session. This will be a fun and relaxed workshop, tuning into the magic of mid-winter in a beautiful setting.

The workshop will demonstrate a method of creating a festive wreath that requires no fixings other than the foraged and natural materials provided. No plastic, glues, or metal will be used; Sofie will demonstrate how to weave materials together in a way that takes advantage of their intrinsic qualities without relying on artificial materials. The re-usable base for the wreath will be made from a mixture of willow whips locally grown by Sofie, and sensitively foraged wild willow.

All greenery and decoration will also be locally foraged or gathered during Sofie’s local gardening work.

Workshop for age 18+

Please note that you will need to park in one of the main carparks at Hardcastle Crags and walk down to Gibson Mill for the start of the workshop.
