10 seasons of wreaths
Selling wreaths on the side of the road in Damariscotta in 2014
It has been ten years since I first decided to make wreaths as a way to extend my seasonal work into the winter. I have to thank THE GOOD SUPPLY and SHEEPSCOT GENERAL for supporting me from the beginning! Wreath making has given me a sense of purpose after the leaves fall from the trees and the plants go into dormancy.
Stay tuned for upcoming workshops and check out my new private workshop offering in my studio in Rockland.
Thanks to all of you who have been ordering wreaths every year. It has kept me afloat many winters in a row.
Love from Maine,
Rachel Alexandrou

Wild Botanical Wreath Workshop
Join us for a hands-on wreath-making workshop, a longstanding traditional craft in Maine. In this class, participants will learn which botanicals in our landscape make beautiful wreaths beyond just balsam. Forager, artist and wreath maker Rachel Alexandrou will guide students in how to use the form, texture and color of wild natural materials to compose an artful wreath. Each attendee will make their own 18”-24” wreath to bring home a bit of the natural charm and refreshing scent of Maine’s woodlands. All materials and tools will be provided, including wreath rings, wire, gloves, clippers, and an array of evergreens, berries, and other wild plants. This workshop is open to all skill levels and promises a fun, festive experience for everyone!
