Circle of Friends

If you have a group of ten or more friends, family, or coworkers, you can put together a Circle of Friends private workshop. Most groups choose "Wreath Collection" so each member can choose from a variety of shapes to customize their home, such as round, oval, or square.  Members in "Wreath Collection" may also choose a novelty-style wreath like a star, tree, snowflake, candy cane, door arch or cross. Or they can make a mailbox hugger, door swag, or table runner.  All of the projects in "Wreath Collection" use the same technique, but are done on a different frame shape.  The $20 option is a "Plain" option, and includes a satin bow and natural pine cones. The $30 option includes a velvet bow and a selection of custom decrations like red and white twigs, colorful red berries, white-frosted pine cones, shiny glass balls, natural pods and more. 

Your group can also choose any other class from our regular list (like Porch Pot, Kissing Ball, Boxwood Tree, etc.) but if you do, everyone wll be making the same project.  Over the years we have learned that it is best to teach only one kind of project at a time so no one is waiting.

Feel free to bring refreshments for your group, too. Tina, the "Berry Fairy" might even give you extra berries if you offer her a cookie or two. Wine is fine, too, but don't let Tina have more than a sip until the class is mostly over or beware!

We have a commercial coffee pot, and can provide complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Just ask us when you sign up, so we can be sure to have fresh cream!

There is no need to put a deposit down for your private class, but we do require that you collect the fee from your group members when they sign up with you, not on the day of the class. You can give us an estimate of how many people you think will be coming when you schedule the class, but then give us an updated number of paid participants about a week before of the class.

We can also take our classes "on the road." We need a minimum of 15 people or more to do a class off site, plus an additional $25 for travel within a half hour drive. ($50 for over a half hour.) Travel fee is waived if the class has over 25 participants.
