Holiday Balsam Wreath Workshop
December 7th, 4:30 – 6:30 pm, Great Stone Dwelling
Instructor: Marya Merriam of Wood Frog Flowers
Welcome the winter season with a hands-on wreath-making workshop led by Marya Merriam of Wood Frog Flowers. Participants will learn to create a beautiful 16-inch balsam wreath using fragrant, locally sourced balsam and an assortment of natural materials, including birch bark, red dogwood branches, milkweed pods, cedar, and pinecones.
Whether you’re an experienced crafter or trying wreath-making for the first time, this workshop offers an opportunity to explore natural materials and create a unique seasonal decoration to enjoy at home or give as a thoughtful holiday gift. Participants will leave with a handmade wreath that celebrates the beauty and fragrance of the winter landscape.
