Bosavern Community Farm: Garland Workshops

Book onto one of our FREE Garland workshops to co-create a mid-winter banquet style piece to display in the community spaces at our farm. Collaborate with like-minded people and get hands on, led by experienced arts practitioners.

Two circular garlands will be created across these workshops. These will be suspended in the farm shop and above the community feast table in the Castle Polytunnel to bring the outside in, and to add some creativity and evergreen colour throughout the Winter season.

Who can come:

These garland workshops are best suited for ages 8-88+! Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Places on these high-quality workshops are available to all members of the community but priority will be given: to people who are feeling isolated or anxious, to those with long term health conditions, and to Home Ed. families. People can be referred, or they can self-refer for this creative opportunity.

What to expect:

Experienced practitioners John Keys and Alessandra Ausenda from Tough Dough will guide you through the process of creating a community garland within a fun and supportive environment. You will design and create garlands as a group, using willow and plants from the farm and surrounding areas.

Breaktime refreshments and resources are provided. The workshop will take place outdoors if the weather is fine, or inside our multi-use community polytunnel. Please wear sturdy footwear (trainers or boots) and weather-appropriate clothing (sun hats and sun block if hot, layered clothing if cold).

What to bring:

• Gardening gloves if you own a pair, but we do have spares
• Evergreen branches: holly, bay, ivy, and berries etc to use in the garland
