Pom-pom Flower Headdresses
Create your own avant-garde headdress in a kaleidoscope of festival colours. Inspired by my sell-out workshops at Port Eliot Festival. I will guide you through how to make your own festival headwear using birdcage veiling, miniature pom-poms and silk flowers. Suitable for the catwalks of Paris and Milan.
These head pieces are fun and easy to make with no experience required. Suitable for all ages, under 16s must be assisted by an adult as I use hot glue and pins.
Available for group/hen party workshops at a venue of your choice from £35 per person (min number of participants applies). Please get in touch to enquire about your dates and location. There is a travel cost of 50p per mile outside 15 miles of my location in Veryan (TR2 5QL).
Workshop length 1.5 hours.
