This season we’ve teamed up with Renee Canter (aka The Girl Who Gardens) to design seasonal Autumn and Winter Wreath Making workshops that reflect the beauty that each season brings and are a little kinder to nature too. Traditional wreaths, although stunning and super popular, are by nature not particularly eco-friendly - see Renee’s Environmental Wreath Manifesto here for more.

We are so lucky to live in an area where woodland is abundant and there is so much we can gather from the forest floor to inspire our wreath-making this winter. As with our hedgerow wreaths we’ll be taking a more eco-friendly approach to the traditional wreath - creating a moss and wire base to adorn with sustainably foraged materials.

Workshop Time: 19:30 to 21:30

Each week we will work on a different aspect of art practice and fill our sketchbooks with creative experiments. You will be given a sketchbook with your first class and our skills based sessions will improve your technical skill and inspire new ways of working that harness confidence and creativity. No pressure, lots of laughter and plenty of time to reflect on the week.

Add a bit of hygge to your winter home with these gorgeous scented candles in lovely little vintage tea-cups!

Candle-making is a delightfully slow process with each step of the creation encouraging you to be patient and present. We’ll work with soy candle wax - it has a much slower burn time and is non-toxic.

Engage the senses by picking out scent combinations that suit your mood - using a combination of pre-made scents and essential oils to add a personal touch to your creations.

We have a lovely selection of vintage crockery for you to choose from and will have a bit of fun creating some hand-made Christmas labels whilst your creation sets!

As is tradition now at Surrey Art School, we’ll be running a foraged wreath workshop in the lead up to Christmas.

You’ll work with natural hand-made bases to build up a beautiful winter garland to adorn your door or winter home.

We’ve been out and busy collecting pheasant feathers, larch and drying fruit in preparation for this gorgeous seasonal workshop.

You are welcome to bring along some found materials to add to your garland, or to simply work with the gather we have.

Come and capture the beauty of the season in this yule inspired meet and make.
