On 28th November 25 members of Vocal Expressions and guests gathered at New Mill Club for a demonstration of sustainable Christmas wreath making by Helen Green, an experienced florist, now based in the Holme Valley. Helen took us through the stages of wreath making, using locally foraged greenery, and recycled materials, and produced the beautiful example (the one with the large red ribbon) pictured here. Wreath making kits were for sale including everything needed to make your own wreath at home, with proceeds going to St David’s Church organ restoration fund. Some of those produced by members are pictured here.
After the demonstration refreshments were served and there was great support for the Christmas tombola, raising a combined total of £103 for VE’s charity ‘Holme Valley Mountain Rescue’.
