Saturday 30 November 2024, In-person Wreath Making Workshop with Studio Dandelion
St Mary's Church, Wyndham Place, York St, London, W1H 1PQ
11:00 - 13:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, London, UK)
Eloïse is the owner of Studio Dandelion, a wedding and events florist based in North London. Specialising in truly seasonal flowers, Eloïse collaborates with farmers across the UK, combining her passion for design with a deep appreciation for nature. Over the past five years, she has created stunning floral designs and arrangements that capture the beauty of each season.
With 15 years of experience in the floristry industry, Eloïse has gained extensive knowledge about the benefits of sustainable, eco-friendly, and seasonal practices that enhance, rather than compromise, artistic design. Her travels have enriched her expertise, and she is dedicated to teaching others about the art of floral design. Eloïse emphasises the importance of working with shape, form, and texture, believing that every creation holds meaning and therapeutic value.
"Growing up in London, the green spaces were precious to me. The Forget-Me-Nots growing out of the pavement cracks on the way to school and blowing on dandelion seed heads from the brick walls are memories that inspire my floral designs. For me, it's about recreating natural beauty in unexpected places."
Studio Dandelion combines natural elements with contemporary flair, respecting Mother Nature while bringing her beauty into our spaces with gratitude.

Outline of the workshop
In this wintery workshop, you will create a full and spectacular wreath to adorn your door throughout the final months of the year.
This is a space for individual and collective creativity. Over two hours, you will be guided in designing and decorating a sustainably sourced moss and wired wreath base with sumptuous pines, seasonal foliage, gestural dried branches, delightful dried botanicals, and rich velvet ribbons.
Throughout the workshop, we will discuss the origins of wreaths and their significance during this special time of year. We encourage you to express yourself through the art of wreath making and to engage in group discussions. Creating with your hands offers a therapeutic escape from the busyness of life. Our goal is for you to be present, use your senses, and lose yourself in the joy of making.
Wreaths make magnificent gifts for others and yourself. This workshop offers a wonderful education in the art of wreath making, as well as a fantastic opportunity to focus and unwind naturally.
