Black Raven Flowers & Curiosities

17/09/2024

Following on from my workshop announcement video here’s the info from Green and Grounded regarding their Christmas wreath workshops 🖤

It is certainly too early for Mariah screaming, yet it is not too early to secure your spot for this year’s Christmas Wreath Workshop.

As you may be aware, we enjoy changing venues and collaborating with our industry pals, and this year is no different. We are excited to partner with Manchester’s finest brunch and bistro, .co, and will be hosting events in both Altrincham and Sale.

Join us for an enjoyable evening where you will create a luxurious, handmade door wreath. Throughout the session, you will craft a stunning, aromatic door wreath and acquire the skills necessary to replicate your creation repeatedly.

Employing sustainable techniques with a reusable base, along with exquisite festive foliage, berries, seed heads, and ribbon embellishments, we will guide you through a step-by-step masterclass to design an impactful, wild, and Green and Grounded signature-style Christmas wreath for your front door.

This event is ideal for anyone, whether you are attending alone, as a couple, or as part of a larger group. There is no need to bring anything, as all materials and instruction will be provided. Additionally, you will receive a complimentary festive drink or glass of sparkling wine upon arrival.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching I have stocked my shop up with a selection of Dried & Preserved floral bouquets that are ready for that special person who you think deserves an unusual flowery treat! My shop is also packed with my Floral art, entomology, curiosities and taxidermy 🖤

Mother’s day isn’t just about celebrating the person that brought you into the world it’s about celebrating the important people around you who have had a positive influence on your life. Appreciating the kindness and love you have been shown in those important relationships and sharing special moments with those people. Wether it’s breakfast in bed, their favourite biscuits with a brew or a gift make sure to tell them they are AWESOME!

Well here I am..back to posting on socials. I needed to take a break after the most hectic end to 2023! Thank you for all your support over what was my best Black Raven year yet, it truly does mean the world.

I mat not have been posting but i have definitely been planning. This year is all about embracing what I love about the business and evolving, there may be a few changes to how I do things but I really do believe that 2024 is going to be wild here at Black Raven and i’m excited about the ride.

Event announcements coming soon.
