Join us at Watts Gallery for a hands-on workshop celebrating the beauty of the season. Under the expert guidance of our Verey Head Gardener and renowned florist, Chris Sharples, you’ll learn traditional techniques to craft your own wreath base before decorating it with foliage, berries, and ribbon.
With a beautiful array of materials carefully sourced or gathered from across the Watts Gallery estate, your wreath will be both beautiful and sustainable - a perfect winter welcome for your home.
*The session on 26 November will take place in the Old Kiln which is an accessible space, instead of the Watts Contemporary Gallery
