NEW: Seasonal Decorative Centerpiece Workshop

Let's get into the Spirit of Christmas and design a decorative seasonal display or centerpiece in this NEW workshop! I am always trying to keep it interesting with new and fresh ideas and this is one that I was inspired by. Supporting another local small business who made these sturdy 3/4" wood mailboxes for me, I decided to use them in a different way.

There tons of ribbons & beautiful synthetic flowers in a wide range of colours as well as greenery, pussy willows, wheat, acorns, feathers, eucalyptus, small birds & birdhouses, pointsettias, Christmas decor items, seasonal ornaments, tealights, etc. from which to choose to decorate your centerpiece or decor item. . In addition there are a vareity of wood word overlays that can be purchased in the Studio if you decide you want to use them (Season's Greetings, Merry Christmas, Welcome, Hi, Family, and more).

Someone on your Christmas list would love one of these and you can make it as a gift!

We will start by painting the wood plaque/substrate (which is 20"tall x 5" deep at the base of the box and 6" wide) any colour or variety of colours you decide you want and if you have pre-arranged for a vinyl word or saying to be prepared for you, add that to your design. From there it's just a matter of decorating by adding florals, glass gems, heirloom Christmas ornaments, jewelry, wheat, WHATEVER; you can definitely make this piece totally unique. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES are wrapped up in this colourful and creative workshop that it promises to be a hit!

There is lots of items here and supplied for this workshop but if you have a special item(s) that you think you may like to use in this decor piece, please bring it along with you.

NOTE: This box can be designed standing straight up as mine was in the prototype picture provided OR you can lay it down on its side on back to have the folliage being draped or flowing out from the base and then add something like a tealight or small lamp on the base (see picture shown for what I mean).

Grab a friend or family member to join you in this fun and easy class; come prepared to have some creative fun and play with all kinds of ideas but if you have special pieces (ie: ornaments, jewelry, special mementos) that you may want to incorporate into your decor item, please bring them with you.

No experience at all is necessary; we will be working with paint and hot glue so dress accordingly. Gloves and aprons provided.

We have pop, coffee, tea & water and small prepackaged snacks like chocolate bars and chips but if you want to bring a snack, please feel free to do so. Non-smoking studio in lower level so stairs are involved.

NOTE: Pictures/samples below are to give you ideas but this class does not offer ALL seasonal items (we are gearing towards the Christmas season specifically).

Registration preferred by etransfer directly to [email protected] and we will issue a receipt and confirmation ; you can also register using our ticket agent, Eventbrite.
