Christmas wreath-making workshop – a cosy festive experience
We invite you to immerse yourself in festive creativity and make a unique wreath that will decorate your home and fill it with the spirit of the run-up to Christmas!
The workshop takes place right in the centre of Druskininkai, at ‘Natūralistė’, a unique studio specialising in natural décor, located in the Menų Kalvė arts centre. Here you will be welcomed by the studio’s founder, artist, florist, educator and exhibition organiser Rūta Kazakevičienė, who has been creating Christmas wreaths for over 10 years.
A visit to the studio is not only a creative activity but also an opportunity to get a close-up look at the work of a professional artist. You’ll be able to view her original moss paintings, Christmas arrangements and other unique creations.
You’ll learn about various evergreen plants, their characteristics and how they can be used in festive floral arrangements. The instructor will share the experience she has gained over many years, introduce you to wreath-making techniques, and teach you how to properly prepare and secure plant branches, as well as how to combine different textures, colours and decorative elements. You will learn the key principles of composition – how to maintain proportions, rhythm and colour harmony, and how to create an aesthetic, cohesive and expressive wreath.
During the practical part of the workshop, each participant will create their own unique Christmas wreath. You’ll be able to choose a straw frame measuring 25 or 30 cm in diameter, which you’ll decorate with fragrant juniper branches and other evergreen plants – holly, Balkan pine, thuja and other greenery. We’ll also be using a wide variety of dried plants, pine cones, berries and other natural and decorative festive accents. You’ll be able to hang the wreath you’ve made on a door or wall, or use it as a centrepiece for your festive table.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with previous creative experience. It is open to adults, senior citizens, teenagers and families with children. The Christmas wreath-making workshop can be a memorable part of a get-together with friends, a birthday party, a hen party, a company celebration or a team Christmas event. The studio can accommodate groups of up to 50 people.
If you wish, the instructor can also come to a venue of your choice – a hotel, a conference or event venue, a school, a company or any other agreed location.
