You will also create meadow-boxes and kokedama, which you can take home, before bringing all the designs together into one spectacular installation, for which there will be time for photography.

You will also gain an understanding of the administrative details involved in creating large installations, including costing. The Winter session will focus on creating large hoops and wreaths, which will be brought together for a dramatic installation in our incredible barn.
