Turn your house into a magical Christmas forest with a Woodland Decor workshop

By Katie Mythen-Lynch November 22, 2018April 29, 2020

Do you dream of ditching the tinsel for gorgeous Christmas decor made of berries, bark and branches?

An upcoming workshop will show you how to arrange your natural finds like a pro to create stunning decorations that smell as good as they look.

Cork flowersmith and all-round creative genius Jill O’Keeffe (aka Jill Wild) will be taking over The Cricket Club on The Mardyke on the weekend of December 8th and 9th, 2018 to host three fabulous seasonal workshops focusing on decorating your home for the festive period.

Over the course of the weekend you can choose between two 120-minute workshops or a full day extravaganza with lunch.

Workshop 1 – Woodland Wonderland Decor
(Saturday, 11am-1pm, €50)
Perfect for fans of Scandi minimalism, with a good dose of ‘hygge’. Learn how to decorate with nature, using nuts, berries, bark and branches, create your own unique door adornment, make beautiful botanical stocking fillers and get tips on stylish gift wrapping.

Workshop 2 – Sumptuous Seasonal Decor
(Saturday, 2pm-4pm, €50)
Planning something more lavish for the festive season? Get creative with glitter, velvet, metallics and rich jewel tones, perfect for a season of indulgence, create an eye catching door adornment and botanical stocking fillers and leave with plenty of gift wrapping tips.

Workshop 3 – Wild Style Complete Festive Home Decor
(Sunday, 10.30am-5.30pm, €165)

For those who want to go the whole hog and decorate every reachable surface (like us!), this full day crafting session will teach you all there is to know about festive botanical decor. Each guest will create their own unique door adornment, make an eye-catching table centrepiece with candles, create a botanical swag to decorate a wall, mantle or shelf, learn how to gift wrap and make beautiful botanical stocking. Lunch is included.

This one will fill up fast so hit the website to book your spot.
