“Everyone I have spoken to who attended the Wreath Making Workshops this weekend, thoroughly enjoyed them. And I would like to thank all who made the two sessions such a success. The effort in collecting all the materials we used and getting them set up, was considerable. The tuition was excellent, very clear and the patience shown in explaining how to make the best of the materials, outstanding. We were supplied with mulled cider and homemade mince pies, delicious. And to crown it all, all the mess we had made, was cleared up for us. Thanks to all of you.” —Jen Buckmaster
