The First of our Christmas Video Demonstrations is released

We are delighted to announce the first of our Four Dorset & Guernsey Christmas videos.
In this first video, Anne Clark, a Dorset & Guernsey Area Demonstrator, arranges three very varied designs based on her love of winter. She hopes they will inspire the festive arrangements that will adorn your home this Christmas.
Over the following three weeks we will release more Christmas videos for your inspiration and enjoyment. These will feature designs from Elizabeth Witcomb, Carrie Diamond and Irene Hickson.

Denise’s Upcycled Design

Today sees the release of the last video of this series, but we’ll start our Christmas season shortly! Today’s video is by Denise Jones a D&G Area demonstrator. In this demonstration, Denise upcycles jam jars and a wine box as her mechanics for a delightful, foam free design.

Allison’s Dorset Sunset

Well the weather has been pretty grim and the news too, so we hope this latest video from Allison Finch will bring you a little Dorset joy. It’s so clear here today that we may even get a super sunset today.
Allison is an Area demonstrator and teacher. In this video her inspiration has once more come from the beautiful Dorset countryside. Her “Dorset Sunset” arrangement is a radial design using garden flowers and foliage. Allison includes foam and foam free options in this video.
