Who knew a pinecone could hold a whole bouquet? Slice one crosswise and its scales fan out like petals. One slice looks like a daisy, the next like a tiny bud. Suddenly that familiar little thing from the yard is full of surprises.

There’s a little whimsy in making a garden out of pinecones in the middle of winter.

In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll cut and paint these pinecone blooms and arrange them on 10-inch grapevine wreaths. Make yours bright and merry, keep it woodsy with a few dabs of color, or see where the paint takes you. Come with a friend or pull up a chair on your own. We’ll share paint, swap ideas, and see how differently our wreaths turn out from a table full of the same materials.

There’s a little reflection woven into the making, too. The holidays can go by in a blur, and an ordinary pinecone gives us a reason to slow down and get curious. As we paint, we’ll make room for a question you can sit with privately or share around the table if you’d like. What’s something familiar in my life that might still surprise me if I took a closer look?

No art or wreath-making experience needed. Come play with paint and leave with a uniquely magical holiday wreath you made yourself.
