Katie has provided both a spring and Christmas wreath making class for me and my friends over the last year and I highly recommend them!
Both experiences were so much fun and the wreaths we made during the class were absolutely fantastic. I had so many complements on my wreaths from neighbours and family who wanted to know where I had bought them, and then couldn’t believe I had made them! The materials Katie provided for the workshops were such high quality, and Katie was so helpful and knowledgeable during the class which is perfect if you’re a beginner. We all had a really fun and festive time and the beautiful wreaths lasted for so long! This would be a perfect activity for Christmas parties or hen do’s. You won’t regret booking one of these classes!
