On Sunday 15th March, The Greenery @ Debbie Bryan opens its first-floor studio at 4-6 St. Peter's Gate in Nottingham for a two-hour Mini Wreath Making workshop aimed at crafters wanting a seasonal keepsake. The room—light from the street-facing windows—fills with the scent of preserved blooms and the soft crackle of dried foliage as the Debbie Bryan team walks you through constructing a 7cm mini vine base and arranging preserved flowers and greenery. You'll learn simple floristry techniques—wire wrapping, balance, and tying finishes—using a kit that includes a 7cm mini vine wreath, preserved and dried flowers, floristry wire, bakers twine, ribbons and yarns. Tea, coffee, cordial and a sweet treat are part of the package, so the pace is relaxed but focused. The session is timed for Mother's Day weekend, making it an ideal gift-making experience or a low-key way to spend a creative morning with family. The location is straightforward: meet on the first floor at The Greenery @ Debbie Bryan, 1st Floor, 4-6 St. Peter's Gate, Nottingham NG1 2JG. The workshop runs about two hours and is suitable for beginners—no prior skills required—but offers techniques that will lift your hand-made pieces beyond the obvious. Key features of the experience include the mini willow ring (a tactile natural base), an assortment of preserved florals that hold color and shape, and guidance on finishing touches so your wreath lasts as a seasonal décor item. This workshop stands out because it pairs accessible craft instruction with thoughtfully selected materials; the use of preserved and dried flowers reduces waste and extends the life of the piece compared with fresh florals. The 7cm size makes the wreath wearable or easy to display on small doors, jars, or gifts—a practical design choice for city dwellers and travelers who want a handmade souvenir. Debbie Bryan's studio occupies a central walkable spot in Nottingham city centre, making it an easy stop between errands or as part of a weekend in town. Practical notes: arrive a few minutes early to settle and pick materials, bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind dusting with petals, and expect to take your finished wreath home in a small protective box provided by the team. The workshop is intimate and hands-on, led by experienced staff who emphasize technique and personal style. If you're in Nottingham on Mother's Day weekend and want a concise, rewarding creative experience that yields a lasting, natural keepsake, this mini wreath class delivers. Each participant receives one-to-one tips and a printed care card explaining moisture avoidance, ribbon refreshes, and storage between seasons; the class favors sustainable choices—reusing bindings and selecting long-lasting stems so your wreath remains in your home through months and seasons alike, confidently.
