Wreath Making Workshop with Myrtle Wong

Join HTMC member Myrtle Wong for a Wreath Making Workshop just in time for the holidays!

Please bring your own wreath making materials which include flowers and greenery. (supply list and details below) There are so many kinds of flowers that you can incorporate into a wreath, the main criteria is that they are able to last, select a good size flower that has a good stem to attach it firmly when making the wreath.

Because we need daylight to make the wreaths this event will start at 3pm. There is no potluck for this event, but free to bring snacks to share.

Reservations are required to attend this event, which is limited due to available space.  CLICK HERE to sign up for this event.
