Since ancient times the olive branch has been recognized as a symbol of peace and goodwill, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to welcome a new season. Students will customize their olive branch wreath to fit their own unique design aesthetic, incorporating optional Fall add-ins and holiday ribbon.
Olive branches are harvested right here in Tucson, grown without herbicides or pesticides to be woven into a thick, lush ring that dries beautifully over time and enjoyed through the Fall season.
Students will learn to work with live greenery to create wreaths and garland. We will work primarily with metal wreath frame, wire cutters, floral wire, and glue guns. An assortment of embellishments will be provided to customize your wreath, including pinecones, ribbons, faux Fall flowers, mini pumpkins, etc.
Upon check-in, students are provided aprons and storage for personal items before visiting the handwashing station. Students will be seated in a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized workspace and given seating request preference, when available. Tools and materials will be distributed before instructor takes the class step-by-step through wreath making process.
