Our term finished on a Christmas high, with a lovely day of Festive Flowers.
Susanna had lots of ideas to help with decorating and theming the home this Christmas.
There were some great ideas involving gold leaf, jam jars, glitters and glue.
Using some lovely red flowers, berries and foliage, Susanna showed everyone how to make a simple hand tied bouquet, which would make a lovely gift at Christmas.
Susanna then demonstrated in great Blue Peter style how to put together a stunning Christmas Wreath. We were shown how to wire fruits, walnuts and cinnamon.
After coffee and time spent looking at Susanna's selection of books, magazines and cuttings for more inspiration, everyone had time to make their own Christmas Wreath.
I love how they are all so different. Yet they are all full of gorgeous colour and festive bits!
After lunch, Susanna taught everyone how to make small corsages from left over bits of foliage, berries and flowers, with floristry wire and tape (and festive ribbon!)
This kept everyone quiet for a while!
Susanna will be back in the Spring for more Flower Classes.
