Get into the Christmas spirit with Coastal Wreath Making, a hands-on festive workshop at National Maritime Museum Cornwall on Discovery Quay in Falmouth. Choose between a morning session from 10.30am to 12.30pm or an afternoon session from 2pm to 4pm. Led by Angela from the Cornish Wreath Maker, the workshop explores Cornwall’s coastal environment and maritime traditions as participants create their own unique, maritime-inspired Christmas wreath.
Using sustainably foraged and home-grown botanicals, alongside shoreline treasures such as seaweeds, shells, cones and berries, you’ll discover how natural materials can be combined into a beautiful seasonal decoration.
Inspired by the Museum’s collections, the session also introduces a selection of traditional knots, giving you practical skills to weave into your wreath design.
No crafting or knot-tying experience is needed, so it’s ideal for beginners, with step-by-step guidance throughout.
All materials and equipment are provided, though you’re welcome to bring along any foliage or special shells you’ve collected yourself.
