About this Event
Come and join us for an evening of festive fun and crafts at our rag wreath making workshop.
Stories are everywhere and a part of everyone. We celebrate stories here at Grimm & Co. every day and seasonal traditions are continued through the telling of family stories and passing down of tales and memories. Your wreath will carry a story that's personal to you and your family; it could be a memory, a favourite song, special dates or names of family members. You might leave space on your ribbon to add to it each year and look back on your thoughts as part of a new tradition.
Hosted by the Head Shop Elf, you will be welcomed into our Apothecary at the Emporium of Stories, offered a warming glass of mulled wine (or spiced apple juice) and a mince pie, and taken to our stunning Cliffhanger Castle space to begin the workshop. During this 1.5-hour session we will show you, step-by-step how, to create your own woollen rag wreath provided by the Yorkshire Blanket Co.
A family founded and run business, they use redundant yarns leftover at the end of each week from mills in Yorkshire, saving them from landfill and keeping the local weaving traditions alive. Not only will you have created a beautiful, re-usable decorative wreath to bring out and showcase year after year, you will add a personal touch with the addition of a small story written on a ribbon of fabric tied to your wreath.
There will be an opportunity to purchase treats for the gifting season in our Apothecary shop before the session starts and order additional hot drinks and counter items such as cakes and scones throughout the event.
