To celebrate our new location next to the river Ouse and purpose-built studio we have a new name! Leaves and Wreaths allows us to branch out in other ways too (sorry): to use a material more local to this environment – willow – which allows more structural work. And the new facilities mean it can be an all-year-round creative adventure that isn’t just wreaths at Christmas but could be festoons of colour for spring, table centre-pieces, Halloween pumpkin arrangements, branch wall décor for the summer, even a headdress of twigs and flowers!
All materials are foraged from the wild, natural environment (no plastic or silk, plus ivy is used to fix where possible, rather than wire) and prepared (preserved/ dried), so it will take time to build up stock - but please ask if you are looking for something specific and I can seek the right stuff out. I can also advise you how to harvest and use favourite stems from your own garden and/ or arrange them for you. I will be posting regular updates of the stock available to give you ideas.
Prices are based on the time (for preparing materials and building pieces) to produce items, running costs and a small commission. Wreaths start at £25 for a leaved, classic circle of twisted vines.
