"My Son and fiancée bought me the dried flower wreath making course for my birthday. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a great experience. It is located just off Wellfield Road above a small craft/ art gallery with parking outside or in the library around the corner. We were made to feel very comfortable on arrival and offered a cup of tea, coffee or cola. The whole process was explained and briefly demonstrated. We were told to choose the colours we wished to use in our design and then provided with the tools to start. After completing around 30 small bouquets overseen by Lulia at all times to make sure we created something worthwhile, we were given a wreath ‘base’ and we twisted the bouquets into half wreaths that all looked fabulous ( even my son, who is not at all into arts and crafts and I suspect was more along for the breakfast we had beforehand in the nearby cafe!) The time flew by and although we did go over the two hour slot by about 20 minutes we did not feel rushed to finish. A brilliant course especially if you have an event to plan where dried flowers would make excellent decorations such as a wedding. Lulia was patient , helpful and happy to answer any question from how to dry flowers to arranging and making displays. I thoroughly enjoyed. "
