There is a unique kind of satisfaction that comes from creating something beautiful with your own two hands, especially when it is designed to celebrate the changing seasons. At Crafty Old Codger, our wreath-making workshops are all about bringing people together to slow down, get creative, and craft something truly special.
Whether you are preparing for a festive celebration, welcoming the arrival of spring, or simply want a beautiful natural piece to hang on your door, a handmade wreath adds a deeply personal touch to your home.

Local and Hand-Foraged Materials
Nature provides the very best crafting supplies. For our workshops, we move away from artificial plastics and instead focus entirely on natural beauty. We use sustainable, hand-foraged materials, including aromatic evergreens, interesting twigs, and beautiful natural dried flowers.
Because we forage locally and sustainably, the materials available at our workshops change with the seasons. This ensures that every single wreath created is a unique reflection of the local landscape at that exact moment in the year.
Learn the Art of Wreath Making
You might be thinking, "I am not artistic enough to make a wreath." Let me assure you: you absolutely are!
Our workshops are designed to be a teaching space. We guide you step-by-step through the process of constructing a sturdy base, selecting your foliage, and weaving your hand-foraged materials into a balanced, beautiful design.
The sessions cater to absolutely all skill levels. Whether you are a complete beginner who has never held a floristry wire, or an experienced crafter looking to spend an afternoon with like-minded people, you will find a welcoming environment.
Gather and Create
Our sessions typically host between 10 to 25 people, making them perfect for individual crafters, corporate groups, societies, or hen parties looking for a mindful, creative activity.
Everything you need to construct your wreath is provided for you—along with lovely refreshments to enjoy while you work. All we ask is that you bring along your own pair of scissors or garden snips.
Taking part is simple. To secure a spot at an upcoming session, simply reach out to us via our contact page to book. Come along, learn a new skill, and leave with a stunning, hand-crafted piece of nature.
