“In this workshop we will learn how to make a hand-wired wreath using a metal frame, a variety of branches for the base and embellishing with berries, pods, grasses, and flowers. We will finish it off with beautiful ribbon of course! With proper care and storage, this wreath will dry beautifully and can be used again next season and beyond.

Rachel’s lifelong love of flowers started as a little girl roller skating around the neighborhood with rubber bands on her wrist, picking flowers and selling them to her neighbors. She founded fioribei floral design studio in 2001, specializing in seasonal, locally grown flowers for weddings. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and ruffledblog.com. You can now find her working on an organic farm growing and harvesting flowers and vegetables, and teaching the art of flower arranging to the farm crew.”
