Craft your very own festive decor based on ancient traditions!
Join us at Mad River Brewing's Taproom for an evening of casual fun and creativity! Learn a new skill (or refine an old one!) and play with locally grown plants while enjoying award winning food and drink from our hosts.
When?
There are 2 opportunities to participate!
- Sunday, December 1st at 5pm OR
- Sunday, December 8th at 5pm
There is no particular end time for the event. You are welcome to create at your own pace. The idea is to have a good time, meet new friends, and come away with a festive decoration. Folks typically spend ~2 hours working on their wreath.
Where?
Mad River Brewing Taproom
101 Taylor Way in Blue Lake
What kind of materials will be available?
We will have an array of locally foraged evergreen foliage and a mix of dried flowers (grown by Moon Carrot Farms) for you to create your own unique wreath. You can expect all the fun 'n festive accoutrements to personalize your yule wreath: holly, bay, pinecones, dehydrated citrus, cinnamon sticks, velvety bows, silky ribbons, wooden stars, and more....
**Wreaths will be slightly smaller than pictured. The frames used in the photos are 14". You will be building off of frames that are ~12". With the addition of foliage etc. finished size will vary between 18"-20"

- Design tips & tricks
